In the end, the race is not always won by the swift but by those who keep on running. The Star Wars: The Force Awakens coming attraction had the hottest start of the year, notching 58.2 million views in its first five days, but ultimately it was Fifty Shades of Grey’s four-month head start that proved decisive in the race to be the most-viewed trailer of 2014. Avengers: Age of Ultron finished in third with 78 million views. Jurassic World, which had a hot start with 53.9 million views in its first week, finished fourth with 64 million cumulative views since debuting on Nov. 25.
