It's not 1985 anymore where US theatrical rentals was crucial to recouping or studios had their creative accounting . Now there is also huge foreign grosses, PPV, Digital sales, Blu-ray/DVD sales, On Demand, Premium cable fees, basic cable fees added to the gross. There should be no problem for "The Greatest Showman" to make a profit.

There are also major product placements/tie-ins which can reduce the film's production or marketing budgets. In the case of SHOWMAN, big tie-ups were with such stores as Bloomingdale's in NYC and Galeries Lafayette in Paris. Jackman also appeared as Barnum with a line-up of high-end luxury goods from Montblanc, for which he has been a brand ambassador for sometime. The world premiere was a joint project with Cunard Lines and the premiere was held at the QueenMary2 when it was on dock in NYC.

I've been shocked to see the amount of marketing tie-ins...

It's a little bit of *everywhere.* It almost feels like a summer blockbuster action hero showing up in my Happy Meal.

I've seen tie ins at music stores (like a Yamaha instrument store), multiple high-end stores, and even online with WiFi purchases while traveling.

Whoever marketed this puppy should be congratulated. The dropoff from first / second / third frames were indeed very impressive.

The most effective was likely the tie-in with Amazon, where the order is encased in a red box designed to advertise the movie.
