This framework should inform all of the work BRAND STORY we do, from writing web copy to creating marketing campaigns to defining our digital interactions. By focusing on these themes and elements, we can help our entire CORE MESSAGING organization speak as one. BRAND Making everything more movieful. POSITIONING We love movies. BRAND STORY No, I mean we loooove movies. Why wouldn’t we? Movies thrill us, scare us, slay us, shake us, take our breath away... and sometimes they blow our freakin’ minds. We watch them, rewatch them, quote them, share them, rate them, rank them, and debate which ones are our favorites. If people still camped out in costume for a first look at a summer blockbuster, we’d be at the front of the line. (But we perfected advanced ticketing so they don’t have to.) Movies take us places, so we’re constantly thinking about where we can take movies. From the perfect night out to family nights in. From a flight delay at the airport to your Insta break at work. From a group chat about weekend plans to making a friend laugh with the scene you’ve watched together a thousand times. Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, whoever you’re with, we’re right there with you. And we bring our love of movies along. Because nobody thinks about the experience of enjoying movies like we do, and we want everyone to enjoy them just the same. Fandango. Making everything more movieful.

  • What Is Hollywood Hiding?
    WHAT IS HOLLYWOOD HIDING? How the entertainment industry downplays the danger to kids from smoking on screen Jonathan R. Polansky Onbeyond LLC, Fairfax, California Stanton A. Glantz, PhD University of California, San Francisco _______________________________ University of California, San Francisco This publication is available at https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3pw661mg April 2020 What is Hollywood Hiding? | 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • The U.S. Surgeon General has concluded that exposure to onscreen tobacco imagery causes young people to smoke. The U.S. CDC has projected that this exposure will recruit more than six million new young smokers in the U.S. in this generation, of whom two million will die from tobacco-induced diseases. • More than half of U.S. top-grossing films released since 2002 include smoking,1 including 51 percent of films in 2019. The number of tobacco incidents in youth-rated films has grown by 63% since 2015. • By 2019, three-quarters of U.S. households subscribed to at least one video-in-demand (VOD) channel. Films comprise the majority of the titles offered on popular video-on-demand (VOD) services, while TV series account for the majority of programming hours they offer. • Per capita, in 2019 films were viewed fourteen times more on digital media than in theaters. Advance notice to parents • Neither the Motion Picture Association (MPA) nor TV Parental Guidelines (TVPG) treat tobacco as an explicit rating factor. The MPA only applies its bland “smoking” descriptors to 13 percent of top-grossing youth-rated films with tobacco content. • A survey of nine popular VOD services finds that three VOD services do not display film and TV ratings reasons with their video content and six other VOD services show ratings reasons only after the user selects a film or TV show and the video is rolling.
