Oh-ho-ho... All those examples of product placement still pale in comparison to this example from Designated Survivor:

So I think either the movie cost more than what they are saying, or the P&A was much larger. I know Hollywood accounting is infamous for its BS, so who knows the truth. Cause you’re right, the production cost was spread around. Sony wasn’t on the hook for the entire budget, it was shared with Village Road Show & another company I think. But who knows. I’m fairly certain it’s illegal to lie about financial info shareholders, IRS & FTC. I think there’s a lie somewhere though because it just doesn’t make sense.
Sony never lost money on ATc. They did want to make bank on just the BO alone, though

No vaccine for at least another 15 months. Who knows what March 2020 will bring at this point.March 2020 better bring us all Afterlife!!!

Part of my hesitancy comes from my observation that as soon as the "slow reopening" took effect around these parts, a sizable segment of the local population seemed to hear "Coronavirus is over--everything's back to normal now."
