I hope this movie bombs big time.
“I hope this movie bombs big time.”
With all this free PR?
Here’s a vicea versa forya
The mainstream media, Dan Rather in particular, we’re really picking hard on “The Passion” back when Mel Gibson was putting it together. Every night practically there seemed to be a negative report about The Passion. Passion this, Passion that, ‘today on the set of the passion...’ You get the picture.
Well that created free publicity and I think millions and upon millions of people globally went to see that movie (or purchased it),who otherwise probably would not have because the negative PR created and pounded out every night was totally obsessive. Olberman could not have done better (maybe... maybe not)... all this became International News thanks to Danny Boy Rather and the press who were really trying to create a false crises, discredit Gibson, and/or make the movie bomb horribly at the box office failed miserably. Tho’ it will never be spoken of aloud.
The Passion was a global success as a result. After market sales of media and formats took off.
