Marketing is one of the most prominent parts in the success of any film. Without it, nothing pays off. Before the release, we get a sneak peak of movies through poster, trailers, and other materials. It helps to make the project reach to a wide range of audience before it hits the big screens. With all of that, stellar advertising takes movies to skyrocketing heights and that is the reason why they break the record and rule the box office. We bring you the five greatest marketing campaigns of all the time.
