1. “THE CONJURING 2” James Wan’s horror sequel had the audience eating out of the palm of its hand. A big pop of applause at the end. (Warner Bros.)
2. “THE LEGEND OF TARZAN” A large-scale movie movie that the audience of exhibitors was clearly eager to get on their screens. The extended trailer, featuring star Alexander Skarsgard, bought a rousing round of applause.(Warner Bros.)
3. “STORY OF YOUR LIFE” Alien invasion thriller from “Sicario’s” Denis Villeneuve looks moody and visionary. Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner star in the film.(Paramount)
4. “SUICIDE SQUAD” The crowd seemed eager for a different spin on the comic book genre, and David Ayer’s super-villain movie looks ready to give it to them. (Warner Bros.)
5. “BAD MOMS” Mila Kunis comedy about misbehaving PTA members scored big laughs for its off-color jokes. (STX)
6. “FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM” A little been there, done that, but the crowd was nevertheless eager for more “Harry Potter” on their screens. Of course they are; it’s a multi-billion dollar franchise. (Warner Bros.)
7. “LIGHTS OUT” This footage was jump-scare city, yielding lots of audible reactions throughout (and even some uneasy laughter to shake off the tension). (Warner Bros.)
8. “THE NICE GUYS” Russell Crowe already had the audience worked into a bit of a lather with his funny intro. The laughs kept coming with writer-director Shane Black’s raunch, co-starring Ryan Gosling. (Warner Bros.)
9. “ALLIED” Trailer for spy romance with Brad Pitt, Marion Cotillard was sensual, stylish, reeking of Oscar pedigree. (Paramount)
10. “FREE STATE OF JONES” Civil War drama starring Matthew McConaughey showcased gripping battle scene, but could be too downbeat to do big box office. (STX)
11. “BAYWATCH” Lots of girls in bikinis and an enthusiastic Dwayne Johnson, but the jokes were overly bro-y. (Paramount)
12. “JACK REACHER: NEVER GO BACK” Did anyone ask for this? Tom Cruise should hurry up and make “Mission: Impossible 6.” (Paramount)

Nope, no pants, no pants. It’s just as sexy but a little bit more classier, and dare I say more sophisticated.
