Under a strategic marketing partnership, Yahoo Entertainment will feature content from The Hollywood Reporter on its Yahoo Movies site, while The Hollywood Reporter will promote Yahoo Movies trailer content and data in its own digital and print editions, as well as on its website.
The two brands will also present Yahoo’s new “Purple Filmstrip Award” program, a monthly honor given to the film studio with the most successful movie title on Yahoo Movies, as measured by a combination of the most trailer streams and best user reviews. (Yahoo, in association with The Hollywood Reporter, today presented the first Purple Filmstrip Award to Warner Bros. for The Dark Knight.)
Each week, Yahoo Movies will link to www.thr.com, highlighting THR’s top story, “Box Office Tally” headline or other featured content, while Yahoo Movies content will appear throughout THR.
The Hollywood Reporter says the partnership will move The Hollywood Reporter brand into the digital space and help extend content to new readers.
