Author Topic: Fandango and Netflix Joe Elliott Master Film Handler Posts: 497 From: Port Orange, Fl USA Registered: Oct 2006 posted 04-26-2008 03:03 PM                     Anyone else notice that when you go to your local theater times on Fandango, a Netflix ad pops up? I did a spyware scan, and when back to it, because I thought that would be a conflict of interest, but there it was again. The box office portal for virtually all the theaters in the US advertises netflix? Anyone else annoyed by that?  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-26-2008 04:09 PM                        Avid moviegoers are also avid video-watchers.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 04-26-2008 09:54 PM                     They make popup blockers and browsers with them integrated for a reason. And like Mike pointed out: It makes perfect sense for netflix to be advertised on there. This is called gearing your ads based on the type of audience. People interested in seeing movies at theaters likely just plain like seeing movies period. My old theater would have advertisement slides for local restaurants but using what you're saying, that's a conflict because they'll not buy our concessions if we do that.  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 04-27-2008 09:53 AM                        oh yeah, We used to show rolling stock commercials for TV shows, and other forms of entertainment that take people away from going to the movies I hope that AD revenue was worth the potential loss of customers!  |  IP: Logged
