The company’s partnership with Sony/Columbia Pictures is Kellogg’s first global theatrical promotion, according to Kevin Smith, senior vice president marketing services at Kellogg, who added that the company’s Spider-Man 2 local promotions and products would reach 180 countries around the world.
When introduced in 2002 with the first Spider-Man movie, Kellogg’s Spider-Man cereal and Pop-Tarts sold out during their first run in the US. The company said it expects their return to be just as popular.
