=== Promotion ===
Before the release, a promotional [[mockumentary]] video titled ''Galaxy Quest: 20th Anniversary, The Journey Continues'', aired on [[E!]], presenting the ''Galaxy Quest'' television series as an actual cult series, and the upcoming film as a documentary about the making of the series, presenting it in a similar way to ''Star Trek''; it featured fake interviews of the series' cast (portrayed by the actors of the actual film), "Questerians", and critics.<ref name="MentalFloss"/>

While these additional materials were made, DreamWorks devoted very little advertising to the film despite its placement near the Christmas season, which the cast and crew felt hurt the potential for the film.<ref name="thr dec2019"/> Unlike most films where the second and ongoing weekend box office takes decline, ''Galaxy Quest'' saw rising numbers over the first several weekends, and DreamWorks' [[Jeffrey Katzenberg]] apologized directly to Parisot for failing to market the film properly.<ref name="thr dec2019"/> Additionally, the primary trailer used for the film used a cut of the film before all the specific effects were complete, and Johnson felt that if the trailer had used the completed versions, it would have helped draw a larger audience.<ref name="thr dec2019"/>
