Universal Tries Enterprising Methods To Sell 'The Change-Up' Anybody For $6 Tickets?

Universal Pictures thinks about the problem outdoors this area in attempting to raise awareness because of its David Dobkin-directed body switching comedy The Modification-Up, which opens Friday against Rise from the Planet from the Apes. The Modification-Up continues to be monitoring a little softly, and also the studio today sent a promo that highlights the chemistry and benefit of the film's stars, Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds. The studio has been doing another thing that caught my attention. Much like when Lionsgate offered $6 tickets towards the Lincoln subsequently Lawyer through Groupon, Universal is providing $6 offer for tickets towards the movie through DailyCandy Deals, the Comcast-possessed online daily e-newsletter that provides discount rates from jewellery to restaurants.

It is a test program for the site--that is attempting to offer viable deals to develop its customer lists--and also the studio, that is attempting to raise awareness because of its films. For who eats the price of the reduced ticket cost, it's like it is the theaters, just like happens with any reduced ticket. A few of the DailyCandy Deals customers will buy tickets and never appear, therefore the feeling is will most likely all emerge within the clean. However the studio doesn't have exposure and tickets offered a few days ago is going to be counted within the weekend box office tally. It's unclear if the studio will offer you future movie discount rates towards the site that's possessed by its parent company. Incidentally, this is the opportunity to ogle at Bateman and Reynolds within the Universal promo reel:
