In The Kings Speech they used Posters that had catch phrases like 'God save or king'While the poster makes it clear this is based on an “incredible” true story it oddly doesn’t include any of the endorsements the movie has racked up to date, either in the form of showing off its festival appearance badges or by using some of the press quotes that have praised the movie based on those screenings. It also has different trailers that they brought out for example the first trailer was more informative telling you the story-line whilst the others are showing clips to draw people in to watch the movie, online they have a official website where you can find out information about the movie and the cast, advertising and cross-promotions they used online to also post adds (little posters) on websites but they rarely used that. Media and Publicity in Word of mouth buzz for the movie really came out strong after its debut at the 2010 Telluride Film Festival. There it racked up some serious positive press not only for the movie as a whole but also for Firth’s performance as the man who would be king. It became an almost immediate awards contender(Los Angeles Times, 9/11/10) and was even labeled (Hollywood Reporter, 9/13/10) as the movie that might bring The Weinstein Co. back to the glory the brothers enjoyed during the heyday of Miramax.
In Tin Tin has brought out two trailers and a number of clips from the movie that are action filled to make people want to watch more. Also they used billboard posters at bus tops, motor ways and Tv adverts.
Who distributed the film in the UK and USA and what were the issues associated with the film’s distribution: The kings speech came from lottery money and was distributed by the UK film council. Also with Tin Tin it was a cartoon before it became the movie. So most of its popularity and audiences came with the knowledge of that. As they may of watched the cartoons.
