Snakes on a Plane Debuts in Theatres
Posted on August 18, 2006
Snakes on a Plane, a film with enormous web buzz behind it, debuts in theatres today. Soon we will know how big the box office score is for this Internet phenomenon. There have been over 50,000 blog posts on Technorati about Snakes on a Plane with blog posts recently spiking to nearly 3,000 per day. You can see the posts soaring on a graph from BlogPulse.com. BlogPulse also says Samuel L. Jackson was the fourth most-discussed person in the blogosphere for the day. Bloggers have also been discussing the unique send a phone message from Samuel L. Jackson promotion that has been running. There are already nearly 1,500 links to the Varitalk promotion which generated 100,000 phone calls in the first 24 hours.
Not everyone likes the idea of deadly snakes being on an airplane -- some people will be too frightened to go! However, with all the Internet discussion this film has probably already found enough fans to be a hit.
