created a game where

users could register for

a “district”

Film and TV producers are

now tapping into this

huge gaming market by

producing movies based

on games.

In 2015, the box office revenue hit a record US$ 38.3 billion,

but the global games market took in a whopping US$ 91.8

billion in revenues.

Game developers have been creating games based on movie and TV

franchises since the 1980s (think “Back to the Future” video game for NES)

The use of branded games as part of a promotional campaign for movie and

TV is quite a recent trend

Many, if not most, of the highest

grossing films and highest rated

TV shows within the last few

years have used online games as

part of their marketing

campaigns

The advantages of using games not just to expand a movie or

TV show franchise, but as promotion for an upcoming movie or

TV series, are finally being recognized

Games appeal to reward-

seeking nature of a vast

demographic range

Sharing of results can be

incentivised

Players engage with the

movie or TV characters

because they want to
