WHY HENRY CAVILL IS ON THE BEST SELLERS LIST

MEN’S HEALTH COVER

Namely, British actor rocketed into stardom with his Immortals (2011) and Man of Steel (2013) movies. In the November 2011 issue of Men’s Health, Cavill appeared on the cover of the magazine.

Importantly, Amazon launched its Kindle Newsstand for magazine and newspaper subscriptions that same year.

THE IMMORTALS WORKOUT

Though the DC Extended Universe received mixed reviews, marketing promotion for print and digital focused on actors being real-life superheroes.

Importantly, Men’s Health convinced audiences that Henry Cavill was a real-life Superman who is very strong. Certainly, The Immortals Workout may have contributed to the movie’s initial success.

Though box office underperformed, Man of Steel has enjoyed strong digital sales of its Video-on-Demand. Perhaps, Men’s Health and its digital marketing influenced digital sales. Indeed, recent DCEU movies tell a similar story.

THE ROCK ON THE COVER OF MEN’S HEALTH

Importantly, Dwayne Johnson followed a similar marketing in the recent Black Adam movie. Though already iconic, the movie’s promotion lasted during the pandemic and with DC FanDome.

With his December 2022 cover, he details his 18-month regimen to build up for the role. Though the movie received mixed reviews and underperformed, it had strong digital sales for its Video-On-Demand.

PLANET HOLLYWOOD ON ESQUIRE

In Summer 2021, staff writer Kate Storey wrote an article titled The Rise and Fall of Planet Hollywood in Esquire magazine. Recently, Reuters has reported that the themed restaurant has enjoyed a revival after its closure during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Certainly, the re-opening was a news highlight this year. With a call to re-discover the classic themes and innovate with a new Hollywood menu.

BEST FRIENDS

In the early Hollywood model, magazine marketing in print promoted celebrities as inspiring people.

In the Esquire article, we learn that Planet Hollywood was founded to do homage to Hollywood and pop culture. At the same time, it was a place for celebrities to gather as best friends.

Though he did not appear on the cover, George Clooney related how he spent time at the restaurant with a coinciding call for his Batman & Robin (1997) casting.

Indeed, buy Esquire‘s issue to witness pop culture and how friendship can create influential business opportunities! And emphasize daily life, Hollywood and best friends.

SALES, SALES, SALES

Really, Men’s Health 2011 November issue moderately boosted digital sales for Immortals. In November 2011, the movie earned $70.2 Million in the box office for the first week. In March 11, 2012,  home entertainment sold for $32,427,364.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

Definitely, buy Esquire 2021 June Summer – ChrisRock.
