Fellas, I work at a movie theatre for a living.  Trust me when I tell you that it would be marketing suicide to not have the ring on the poster.

However dumb you think the public is, they are vastly dumber.  Currently, we've got a poster up for a one-night event that consists of two episodes from season two of Star Trek: The Next Generation, designed to promote the Blu-ray release.  I have overheard many, many people who have looked at the poster and then said, "Oh, look, a new Star Wars movie."  Others assume it's a poster for a new Star Trek movie.  I've heard literally nobody make a comment that actually recognizes the poster for what it is.

People, on the whole, are dumb AS HELL.  Woe unto the marketing campaign that fails to take that fact into account.

No, they've been more concerned with immediacy; posterity doesn't seem to be entering into it, sadly.

The worst blunder they've made is dumping kd lang for Sheryl Crow.  "Surrender" is an awesome Bond song; "Tomorrow Never Dies" is just a lame song in general, and especially as a Bond song.

I listen to mine every year around Christmas. But there's nothing on this new set that'll entice me to shell out for it.
