Oh the marketing.

Somebody was paid money to come up with this poster.

 

The same concept was executed a million times better for DOFP

 

[DAJK]

Those DOFP posters are quite awesome. I would put those up on my wall if I ever had the chance...

[RobinHood26]

I still think they could have pushed the Old/New angle better overall with DOFP. I felt like it left a good 25m on the table gross wise domestically.

The only official posters I currently own are Pacific Rim, and the original Star Wars poster. The DOFP ones are neat.

 

I really want to grab the massive 10 foot Force Awakens poster once we get it in the cinema.

I have a TFIOS poster...

Universal can market this well, and it can do an increase like Hellboy 2(yeah I said it).

Legendary are fully funding it so for Universal, it won't be an issue if it flops. The money JW made for Legendary probably will make up for all the losses they had with Blackhat and Seventh Son and to fund this as well.

[TServo2049]

How much of the money for JW was put up by Legendary? Didn't they come in during the production, like with Interstellar? (WB let them finance a piece of Interstellar in exchange for giving up their stake in the DC franchise.)

And Legendary didn't have to DO anything for JW, did they? (Kind of like how they got a cut of the money from Interstellar for doing basically nothing - I forget what the reason for them getting involved was?)

 

Legendary co-financed it with Universal, Interstellar was because they wanted to work with Nolan again so they gave up their rights to finance BvS in exchange for a stake in Interstellar, WB gave Paramount their movie rights to South Park and Friday the 13th in exchange for the OS rights to Interstellar. 

 

Co-financiers like Legendary, Skydance etc are good for studios as they can spread the risk on an expensive projects but as we've seen Relativity, financing a film with another studio isn't the same as doing it solo.

My boss basically had permanent dibs over every piece of TFA materiel. So if you go into the staff room and look at the sheet saying staff requests you see my name way at the bottom next to

Rogue One poster... whatever it might be...

On our request sheet we can't write down a poster until it's been delivered to the cinema and is on display, so that people can't bagsy everything months and months in advance. 

 

Fortunately my boss is a trekkie who has no love for SW.

That's the same general rule we have, with the exception of something we can be sure will get posters delivered (for example something like Star Wars or MockingJay etc). Edited July 25, 2015 by DAJK

Had TDK not come out the week after we might have gotten Hellboy 3 by now.

I don't know where Universal would have put that at in the Summer of 2008 to be perfectly honest though.

[Heat Vision]

Gipsy Danger 2.0 better be in this bitch

[PDC1987]

If the animated TV series does well it will do wonders for this film's potential.

Like it did for HTTYD2 or Penguins?

It's far more comparable to TMNT. Young boys, toy crossovers.

[John Marston]

Walt there are people who think this won't drop domestically from the first? lol

[Orestes]

Is Hunnam still the lead, or did they decide to save a bit on budget by replacing him with

?
