Tron Legacy: Theater Standees Use QR Codes

Dan Koelsch, August 29, 2010December 2, 2010

We’ve been keeping tabs on talk that some of the Tron Legacy standees in movie theaters have QR codes alongside them. Now we have proof of at least one in Ohio, which leads to a cross-promotional website for that particular movie theater. It in, it says that Encom is sponsoring the theater, and the fictional game company is releasing Tron Legacy as a movie version of their game. There doesn’t seem to be more to it than that, but we’ll update if necessary. Read the official press release after the break.
