I guess marketers literally thought of everything ahead of the big ‘Star Wars : The Force Awakens’ release! An R2-D2-decorated airplane was seen landing at Gatwick Airport earlier today shuttling the cast to their next premiere event.
The film’s production budget was around $200 million, but I’m sure that doesn’t include marketing-related expenses. Let’s face it, the film will probably go on to earn upwards of $2 billion in worldwide box-office, licensing & merchandise sales, so leasing an airplane for a few months is literally chump change. Ahh, you gotta love Hollywood!
