“‘Space Jam’ was the iconic film moment of 1996, and its cultural impact is undeniable,” says Josh Hackbarth, vice president of franchise development, WarnerMedia Global Brands and Experiences. “Today, it continues to spark nostalgia and excitement for millennials who were kids when it debuted, and that fervor has been passed to a new generation with the release of ‘Space Jam: A New Legacy.’ We are pleased to celebrate the movie’s many groundbreaking achievements in ticket sales, merchandising, music, theme and design. Its legacy continues to live on with kids and families still enjoying everything that is ‘Space Jam.’”
