Promotional events to help market The Jungle Book

• Disney made concerted efforts to promote the film to male audience. Trailers aired on TV sports networks like ESPN and highlighted that the film came from the same studio that made the Pirates of the Caribbean series, rather then Cinderella. An extended 3D trailer was also played at screenings of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
