On this episode of the NerdBrand podcast, we have Josh Suiter back! So let’s discuss movies that place products in them. Josh was just elected President-Elect of the KY Chamber of Commerce Professionals, which is ironic because he loves to read books about US Presidents.
Quote from Josh: “But I’ve also taken a liking lately to Space Jam and have been watching the OG version – the newer one was ok but not as good as the original.”
New movie box office:
- Budget – $150,000,000 (estimated)
- Gross US & Canada – $70,528,072
- Opening weekend US & Canada – $31,053,362
- Gross worldwide – $162,828,072
So this movie was reviewed as a giant ad from beginning to end. When is it too far? Have you ever been taken out of the moment due to product placement? (I have Transformers 4-5 with a Bud Light Beer truck crash scene).
Some movies that did this to discuss:
Paramount with Transformers – Air Force, Chevy, and beer).Pixar – Mattel – Barbie, and nostalgic brands like Mr. Potato Head. Marvel Studios – Acura, and Burger King
