That's some darn good promotion. The Goldbergs is produced by Adam Sandler's Happy Madison Productions, but in this case, more importantly, also by Sony Pictures Television on the Sony/Columbia studio lot in Culver City, California, the same studio lot where the original Ghostbusters was filmed for Columbia, now owned by Sony. Sony getting some mileage out of this cross-promotion.

Sony!

 

LOL. Never heard of this show, but this is clever marketing.
Of course, we would have killed in the 80ies for such a crossover toy...

 

I remember watching a marvel movie on tv and straight afterwards I caught the start of this show for the first time and it was the transformers episode. Quite enjoyable 

 

Make sure to also give news credits to these two users, who posted it hours earlier (not taking anything away from this topic's OP!):

 

I'm sure it was a big deal in China.

The same place where Ivan Rikeman said, "I want the brick to shoot out of the wall." And the FX team asked, "How fast do you want it to go?"

Also where the FX team said, "We're going to fill large trash bags with shaving cream and drop it on you." To witch the extra asked, "Is it going to hurt?"

"We don't know, we've never done this before," was the response from the FX team. It's too bad they used menthol and that one extra was allergic.

 

I like the show, but they always muddle their timelines.  They would hint that it is the early 80\'s, but then introduce something that will hint it is the late 80\'s, and all in the same episode.  But it is funny, especially when the grandfather dressed up as Optimus Prime.

 

Guess that's why it was the 6th highest grossing film in China. No one indeed.

 

I'm not sure you comprehend just how little the rest of the world care about films made outside the U.S. Sorry but it's the truth, and don't bring up Canada, I know a lot of movie are made then and a lot of Actors are from Canada, but as far as film making goes the U.S. and Canada are the same place.

 

yeah, Heck Bollywood no matter how popular it is...it's still small potatoes compared to Hollywood sadly

 

Their loss. I like to think people aren't that dumb and close minded but you might be right.

 

It's not about being dumb of closed minded. It's film it's just about being entertained. Did you know that in 2018 only 62% of box office revenue in China was from Chinese films. Just check this out. I'm sure with some more digging we would find that U.S. films are have a higher gross in most countries when compared to films made in those countries. With the exceptions being China and India.

Actually Bollywood sells almost twice the tickets as the U.S.

Youth (2017) (2017) - Box Office Mojo
ok I looked it up and Youth takes place in the 70s unless i found the wrong one, it was only shown in China mostly during film festivals with no release outside of it making it pretty much unknown to most of the world, So my mistake it's not the rest of the world didn't care... it's that most didn't know it existed to have an issue with a modern Starscream being in a film set in the 70s,
there is a reason why no one brought it up if I found the correct film

oh good I enjoy some of the films and animations like that Johnny Bravo Goes to Bollywood one

 

Not caring about movies that are from someplace else is close minded and to ignore quality is dumb. 62 sounds higher than I expected.

I saw it in America. It made it to select theaters. I didn't see it as an issue, more just a cool thing.

 

did i find the correct film?

 

It's not that they don't care it's that they don't enjoy them. As for China's high number it mainly comes from how the Chinese government regulates, well, everything, so strongly. If you look at the number it would seem that most people have little internist in films made in their own country. Wit the conceptions being the U.S. China, because the government wont let the people see many foreign films and India because their culture is so different.

 

Yes.

 

I mean, doesn't that logically make sense as there are far more people living in India than the US? And this graph is just counting admissions, regardless of the film's country of origin.

 

That's a good point.

 

I posted there because we already had a thread about the toy and didn't think 5 seconds of screen time needed an entire thread.

 

Universe Swerve from 2008 was a Chevy Aveo LT. Hard to come by.

A few of the movie figure molds might have been used by IDW or Funpub such that you could count them as licensed Generations figures.
