A robot demon baby on a rampage and a telekinesis incident in a coffee shop top the list: suggesting that stunts designed to go viral could take over from traditional trailers, made from a compilation of clips from a film.
David Waterhouse, head of content for Unruly, said: "Telekinetic Coffee Shop Surprise and Devil Baby Attack perform well because they manage to boil a feature-length film to a catchy, shareable visual device."
1) Carrie (2013)
Just your average day in a coffee shop. This clever ad for the remake of telekinesis thriller Carrie has been shared 2,357,040 times.
2) Devil's Due (2014)
An animatronic "devil baby" goes for a ride through New York in a remote controlled buggy. The stunt went viral - with 2,148,112 shares - and probably horrified some people out of having children for a while.
3) Grave Encounters (2011)
A ghost hunting reality TV show goes horribly wrong, and of course it's all captured on camera. This video has been shared 1,842,021 time.

Another hit for Annabelle - the two-minute teaser trailer for this year's film has been shared 525,340 times. It shows the scene where John gives a vintage doll to his pregnant wife Mia. Their home is then invaded by members of a satanic cult, and things don't get much better.
