Terminator 2 didn't even feature a single shot from the actual movie in its teaser trailer. It was just that iconic:

And then the full trailer spoiled the main twist

Cloverfield. It didn’t even contain the title, just the date. It ended up being the biggest January opening of any movie.

It got a fair bit of criticism but that movie has had a lot of replay in my house. Solid and simple premise, moves quickly. I could do with a little less of the love story but it does make the ending hit a bit harder.

Lion King, hands down. The trailer was just the entire opening scene, and seeing the trailer for the first time (in the theater, as was the style at the time), gave me chills. The scope of the animation was clearly something new, and Carmen Twillie & Lebo M fucking killed the vocals in Circle of Life

This is a work of art on its own accord.

Suicide Squad.

Unfortunately, it ultimately ended up causing the movie a lot more problem down the line.
