The Dark Knight Gets Serious about Social Media Marketing : StraightUpSearch

Like a viral plague of fear spread over Gotham City, Batman has taken over the internet with the use of effective social media marketing tactics. And the tactics have worked. According to CNN.com, "The Dark Knight" took in $155.34 million in it's first weekend, beating out "Spider Man 3" for best opening weekend ever at the box office. That's a lot of cash, created by a lot of buzz.

Thankfully the movie was good enough to talk about, I know one person who saw it twice in one night. I don't think the advertisements directly did it, I believe giving us a platform to discuss, is what put it over the edge. Good use of social tools finally. This isn't the first time, it's just seems to be the most successful attempt so far.

Scripts, scripts everywhere.., originally uploaded by Solacetech.

texting this from cell...Philadelphia has alot of scripts floating around lately. Movie makers are filming everywhere so look out for philly landmarks on screen. Actually the scripts i'm really talking about are made for the computer. When you first bought your Vista laptop or desktop, you probably noticed the small box in the upper left screen showing the progress of the install. That my friend is a script. scripts basically automates a computer function. In this case, it installs the additional software needed to run. In some cases it makes online things work better. Just asked my IT coworker about greasemonkey scripts and he never heard of it. Really? I just started using them myself on www.friendfeed.com and www.twitter.com but i heard about it a while ago... Hmmm. Go google it so you too can surf the web a little better.

We need more of this! Our Landscape is perfect for any movie scene and, we're cheap!
