Comment on Will the 35 brand partnerships in Beetlejuice 2 come back to haunt Warner Bros?

That’s a surprising number. Especially so since I don’t really recall any blatant product placements (well ok, I think there was one scene that stood out a little bit).
I’d say the number of brand partnerships is less a problem than how prominent those brands are displayed. I can’t think of the exact movies off the top of my head, but the most egregious instances I can think of only had one or two brands. Apple and BMW, for example, have had some seriously obnoxious brand placements in movies.

Was it Jurassic World where they basically had an in movie commercial for Jeep or BMW?

Well that brand integration was obviously a success 😂

I guess? But when ads get that obnoxious, it just makes me dislike the product.
Hulu ads have made me hate everything I see on it.

It depends how well they’ve done it. James Bond talking about his watch was a super clunky one as I remember, but Bond and Aston Martin just makes sense for the character.
