We previously reported that the teaser trailer for Terminator: Dark Fate looked set for a CinemaCon release in Las Vegas on Thursday 4th April, and now it appears that the teaser release will be a part of Paramount Pictures exclusive presentation, which will “highlight” the studio’s upcoming slate of movies.
The presentation begins at 10:00 AM on the 4th and will end at 11:45 AM the same day, and will be hosted by Paramount Pictures head; Jim Gianopulos.
This information was further confirmed by an image from BleedingCool.com, who stated:
“This footage is not released to the public but the press can attend and most will live-blog the presentations.”

It does however look very possible that the wider audience won’t have access to the trailer immediately, which could result in further fan frustration at the delay in the release of the footage.
It looks likely that audiences and fans will get their first tentative impressions of the movie, its themes, plot and style- second-hand; via a description from the attending entertainment press/outlets.
ScreenRant.com seemed poised for this very eventuality, as on February 21st this year, they said:
“Last year, the studio debuted the first footage for Bumblebee and Overlord, but the first trailers for both movies didn’t release online until early June and mid-July, respectively.

In this case, Bumblebee is the best comparison, seeing as it was Paramount’s big blockbuster release for the holiday season. Since Bumblebee’s first trailer debuted online a little over six months ahead of its release date, that would mean May is the perfect time for Terminator 6, as its also six months ahead of its release.
The first Terminator 6 trailer could very well debut at CinemaCon in early April and then appear online later that month, in order for it to be played ahead of the season’s biggest blockbuster movies, like Avengers: Endgame, for instance. Regardless, it shouldn’t be too much longer until the marketing campaign for Terminator 6 launches, which will include the first real photos as well as the first trailer.”
Hopefully Paramount and Skydance are well aware that Fans are excited and anxious to have something a little more concrete to grab onto; like a trailer for the new Terminator movie, and could decide to release it sooner to allay the somewhat disenchanted, fanbase a little.
