Movie Decision:

Advertising is the last decision this start up needs to make before it officially takes of the ground and we can see how it performs. Christopher Nolan has directed the movie starring Brad Pitt in the lead role. The marketing team needs to decide how they want to use the remainder funds.

Market to Young Adults:

This group the market research says is the most likely ones to actually want to see this movie. If we focus on them we might not be able to aggregate the most amount of money, but we can ensure our reputation and likely do modestly well.
Cost: $1000

Market to Everyone:

Get as many as possible to see this movie. You don't care if they enjoy it or even want to see it, you will use whatever method you can to just get as many people sitting in that seat as possible.
Cost: $1000

Market to No One:

You will rely on word of mouth to sell this move and whatever the other producers/actors can drum up through free press. The rest of money available ($1000) will be given back to the stock holders in the form of a dividend.
Cost: $0
