Universal Pictures says the number comes from its two official uploads, as well as unofficial posts, 40 million views on Facebook and an additional 13 million from platforms like Yahoo, IMDb and Apple.

Everyone's going to see it, and you're probably going to have to take your mom and feel super awkward the entire time. Good thing we have a few months to mentally prepare ourselves.
