I Don't know if you all knew this but the studios who put out Austin Powers 3: Goldmember pulled all the promotions (trailers, posters and etc..) destroyed everything to do a new marketing campaign strategy campaign.
Also as for the name, MGM has issued a cease & desist order against the studio using the "Austin Powers in Goldmember" title as it bears too close a resemblance to the 1964 James Bond film "Goldfinger". Until that time MGM will be referring to the film as the third installment of "Austin Powers" Since then its been revealed the MPAA ruled in MGM's favour and declared the title "inadmissable", New Line declared it would appeal the ruling. Believe it or not a similar problem happened with the last film's title, an argument which New Line won.
