Mobile ticketing
While consumers browse the Fandango mobile app, a full page Frankenweenie ad appears.

Through the campaign, consumers are able to buy tickets for the film, watch a video to learn more about it or simply skip the ad to no longer interact with it.

If consumers choose to buy tickets, they are taken to Fandango’s Frankenweenie page where they can check out showtimes to see when and where the film is playing, as well as check out cast information and view critic and fan reviews.
