Jurassic World Case Study
With the largest 3-day opening in history, Jurassic World has shattered expectations. But why did Jurassic World have such an enormous opening gross? Did the marketing have anything to do with its success, or was it able to cash in on audience's memories and nostalgia?
An Elaborate Viral Marketing Campaign
Jurassic World really took advantage of viral marketing. The film's official website is more than just a well-designed promotional site, it is a fully-interactive experience. JurassicWorld.com is designed as if it were an actual park. The site has an interactive map, camera installations, and digital tours of its many attractions. The site makes the fictional park appear to be a real-life thriving business. To complete the illusion, Jurassicworld.com is claimed to be owned by Masrani Global Corporation and even links its "official" website. This is the fictional corporation that owns and operates Jurassic World.

MasraniGlobal.com is made to look like an actual corporate site and even has pages with job postings, a page for investors, and an about page. While viral marketing isn't anything new, Jurassic World's marketing team could have easily fooled

The official Jurassic World Youtube channel has a series of corporate/educational videos about the park's staff and personnel. There is even a few videos about Simon Masrani, played by Irrfan Khan, the film's billionaire visionary entrepreneur who successfully opened Jurassic World to a worldwide audience. In "Jurassic World Masrani Global 1" we get a glimpse of Masrani and his visionary philosophy. In another video, there is an interview with Simon Masrani with the actor in character. Jurassic World also collaborated with popular Youtube Channels. The film's star Chris Pratt and paleontological consultant Jack Horner were featured in Jurassic World Science, the latest video by VSauce. Vsauce is an educational channel with over 8.9 million

    Website- Upon visiting the site you will notice all the pictures and links to Seaworld’s Inc. conservation efforts. This is great but to those that have seen the documentary which is recorded evidence of the mistreatment of the animals this is counter productive and comes off as a lie to an extent. Yes, Seaworld Inc. does do its fair share to help wildlife but at the same time the recorded proof of the treatment of the animals at the parks is what people will remember. I would do away with the vast amount of conservation reporting and show more of what each park has to…

    On Wednesday September 16th of 2015, I will be going to the Smithsonian National Zoo with a group of my friends. The Zoo was founded in 1889. It is one of the oldest zoos in the world. There are 1800 animals that live in the zoo. One of the most famous spots in the zoo for tourists to see is the Giant Panda exhibit. The giant pandas recently just gave birth to baby pandas. I have only been to the Smithsonian National Zoo once. I went in eighth grade for a school wide field trip. I love seeing animals and going to the zoo. Back where I am from (Delaware) there are not any zoos or big public attractions for young kids and teenagers.…

    Based on the readings, web notes, and class discussions, Jurassic Park was doomed to fail from the start. Malcolm warned that Jurassic Park was a useless expenditure based on the research he had done with his Chaos Theory. He cautioned from the start that the animals would end up acting unpredictably and the island would be a disaster. The five major design flaws of Jurassic Park are- they had limited knowledge about the dinosaurs and the environment they needed to live in, they assumed that the dinosaurs would be similar to passive zoo animals, they assumed the dinosaurs would not be able to get out of their cages and/or off of the island, they did not understand that the dinosaurs were intelligent and hunted in packs and had the capacity to kill humans, and Hammond did not want to waste resources on staff so he had the whole island almost entirely controlled by a computer program.…

    Why Is Jurassic Park Bad

    Jurassic Park. When this film came out, people went nuts! Not only did it have groundbreaking CJI effects and won several Oscars, but it had action-packed suspense, a sense of awe and wonder, and just seemed gigantic. So when Jurassic World was released recently, you can bet that I sat down to relive all of the awesome memories from the movie that started it all. And how did it hold up? It was awesome! … But maybe not as awesome as I remember. Look, I’m not saying it’s a bad movie, far from it! If anything, it’s held up extraordinarily well. I’d still give it an A, but in hindsight maybe more of an A-. I’m just saying that while we were so blown away by how huge it was, we might have overlooked some problems that we either didn’t see or chose…

    The type of marketing and promotion employed varies considerably from film to film. For a film such as Lost World, the sequel to the phenomenally successful Jurassic Park saturation marketing was used. This involved everything from the use of conventional media: billboards, magazine and newspaper ads in a range of newspapers from The Daily Mail to The Times and Daily Record to reach different demographics and regions; through to a range of merchandise toys available in Burger King and promotion on a range of food products. The success of the campaign can be seen in the fact that 6 weeks before the release 100% of 15-19 year old film goers was aware of the release of the film. A campaign that begin six months before the film’s release has succeeded in reaching the mass mainstream audience that the distributors sought. Such a blanket campaign depends upon a serious outlay of cash, which the distributors (United Pictures) believed they would recoup for the film.…

    Jurassic Park is a book with a lot of dinosaurs in an amusement park for attraction but has been abandon for a while. So, doctors are willing to risk their lives to help them and of course, come in trouble with some dinosaurs but sometimes they made it through the obstacles. I think the Author chose the title Jurassic Park because the book contains dinosaurs in an Area with its specified purpose. Geological is a period when dinosaurs ruled the world for 55 million years in the Mesozoic era. A park is many or one area with a specific purpose such as Jurassic Park which is made for dinosaurs. Even though that wasn’t the period when all dinosaurs were living but some but Jurassic Park sounds better the Dinosaur Park, Cretaceous Park or Prehistoric…

    Dinosaur Evolution

    Species are produced by individual speciation events, so a single species concept can’t be defining all species. Hugh Paterson’s ideas are significant in understanding evolution. Paterson argues that speciation is not an adaptive process, but is a result of the adaptation of intricate bonding mechanisms to a new environment (Paterson). The conceptual basis of his research is the Recognition Concept of Species. He argues that the Biological species concept isn’t the only mode of speciation, and that this is a better way to define certain species. The biological species concept defines a species as a reproductive group; so there are many limitations. The main limitation is with fossils because fossilized species can’t be applied to the BSC because the organisms no longer mate so their mating pattern in unknown. Paterson believes that species combine as a result of pre-zygotic (before zygote forms) factors within species and not because of isolation mechanisms between species as the biological species concept supports (Paterson). He developed the Recognition concept of species which is compatible with allopatric speciation.…
