What is surprising, though, is how much some studios lavished on individual pictures in 2005. In addition to "Cinderella Man" and "Zathura," big spenders included Paramount's "War of the Worlds" ($46.5 million) and

"The Longest Yard" ($44.6 million), Warners' "Batman Begins" ($44.4 million), Buena Vista's "Chicken Little" ($42.9 million), Fox's "Robots" ($41.4 million), DreamWorks' "Madagascar" ($40.7 million) and Buena Vista's "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe" ($40 million).

Batman had over 15 One sheets, they had an aggressive Internet takeover campaign (when these ads were new). It also had an amazing 17 trailers and TV spots!

To answer your question about Iron Man, it let YouTube do most of it's marketing which is very cheap. There were TV spots (as all Summer blockbusters rely on) but most of the marketing were Internet sites linking the new spots on YouTube.
