The Juice will bring to market lines of merchandise themed to all Red Star’s 3D films. Commenting on the connection James Brocklehurst said “By providing venues with exclusive merchandise products tied into Red Star’s fantastic 3D film content we’re providing a complete solution that makes any 3D or 4D theatre a key revenue earning branded attraction.”
Red Star’s director Ben Smith said “We have listened carefully to the requirements of the attractions industry and we’ve developed seasonal films, branded films and films that fully utilise the 4D and “5D” motion effects popular in venues right now. By adding branded merchandise we think we’ve got a winning combination for meeting the needs of venues worldwide!”
