Up next for Honest Trailers is the classic kids movie, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, one of my all time favorite flicks.
Per the norm, Honest Trailers rips it to shredds, but at least they got Michael Bolton to do it, which adds to the humor.
Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory was released way back in 1971 and starred Gene Wilder. It made over $526,000 domestically, which is the equiavlent of around $3.1 million in today’s dollars.
I’ve always wondered why no candy company actually tried a “golden ticket” promotion?
