I've not seen studios do this (which doesn't prove they don't, of course) It is, however, _very_ common for different groups to use unreleased or recently release movies to release a video that's just a sign post. Either the URL shown in the video leads to a malware site, or a site that charges you to see the full video, itself a scam of some degree. For instance, you'll see this: "name": "A Man Called Otto.2023.720p.BluRay.x264-WDC", "files": [ {"name": "A Man Called Otto.2023.720p.BluRay.x264-WDC/A Man Called Otto.2023.720p.BluRay.x264-WDC.avi", "size": 670547315}, {"name": "A Man Called Otto.2023.720p.BluRay.x264-WDC/Readme.txt", "size": 223} The AVI is unplayable with some generic message, and the readme has something like "to watch the movie, use this link to create an account", and the resulting website will eventually ask for your credit card for "verification purposes"
