Marketing
Moves
__________________________
Twentieth
Century Fox is pushing the DVD envelope. The company has created "MovieBuzz,"
a full-sized
DVD that will be attached to 85 ounce bags of popcorn at Regal, Cinemark,
Clearview,. Century, Hoyt's and Famous Players screens in
in North America.
The
DVD is a marketing tool, through and through, pushing five upcoming
Fox features (Daredevil, Down With Love, X-Men 2, Master & Commander
and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen). The DVD contains
brief EPK-style packages as well as added behind-the-scenes footage
and trailers.
They
have also branded the popcorn bag with, in this case, Ben Affleck,
Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Sean Connery, Renee Zellweger
and Ewan McGregor.
