How much did Fed Ex invest for "cast away"?
 

I would like to know! Provide source if you have them! thx

It is a fair respond but i am looking for a "total spending money" result

well, from the way that reads it almost seems as though they just asked for federal express' permission....i can't find anything anywhere about money changing hands....

i find that hard to believe though...there HAD to be money involved

of course there was

a shit load of $ prob., FedEx is plastered all over that movie, fucking brainwashing...

ha, right. that movie was like a 90 minute fedex commercial.

I'm sure they gave it to FedEx for free. Brown just wasn't doing it for them. :GFYBand

It is playing right now on tv and i was wondering cause i think it is one of the best movie in the 1990-2000 timeline

fedex paid nothing

It is hard to beleive! can it be true? Cast away made ?????? i know you have this information! and give 50 millions impression worldwide without been involved monetarely!

its not hard to believe that FedEx didnt get paid (out of pocket), the exposure from the film is enough to bring in millions alone. i would have let them use my company for free advertising in a movie with Tom Hanks, too.

not to mention, half of the movie involves little-to-no talking. so your mind is 'piecing' the movie together, saying "FedEx" in your head while reading the packages that first washed up to shore.

brilliant marketing, IMO. :2 cents:

..sorry for being a dumbass, but wasnt it a true story? if so, the guy worked for fedex in real life, not including fedex would alter the story ?

Read the subject.:1orglaugh

i was about to say the exact same thing

You've got it backwards...not how much did FedEx get payed by the movie studios, but how much did FedEx PAY to have there brand used in the movie.

As u said, the advertising and branding was great...therefore u'd "think" FedEx shelled out some money to have there name used.

My guess would be a lot.

Well thas was my primary question! hOw much did FedEx pay for movie exposure in that movie? (reformated question)

um...this has already been answered, and if you search google you can find all kinds of discussions about it

they paid nothing

thank you

so much fedex advertising, and the movie was still good :glugglug

and Apple and Pepsi don't pay for placement either

lol

99.9% of the time they do...but in this case, fedex got their shit for free

I've read in a few articles that Wilson got in for free too. Very hard to believe, but...

They said they asked for a few balls, Wilson sent some footballs or basketballs (I'm not sure) but then later the film producers asked for volleyballs.

:glugglug

Fed Ex is ridicuolously expensive, it costs like 100 bucks or so to get a parcel from USA to Australia with fed ex, what a fucking con.

From USA to AU... that's fuckin' far !
