Men in Black come to VR at D&B!

Dave & Buster's has launched their latest VR experience in conjunction with the upcoming film, MIB: International. Suit up as a MIB agent for a wild non-stop ride to prevent a notorious alien gang from making it to their gateway spaceship.

With completely different endings, combined with other elements of variability including subtle differences in gameplay; randomized player characters; seven different randomly assigned weapons; and dialogue that responds real-time to your performance, Men in Black: Galactic Getaway is never the same experience twice.

In support of the film and new game, Dave & Buster's created a co-branded TV spot, digital campaign and multi-touch in-store program. Battle aliens like never before in MIB: Galactic Getaway and see the film on June 14th!

Captain Marvel Comes to Dave & Buster's!

We're excited to announce that Dave & Buster's has partnered with Marvel to help promote the upcoming film Captain Marvel. As part of the partnership, D&B is launching an arcade version of the popular game, Contest of Champions, exclusively at all locations across the U.S. and Canada.

Captain Marvel is one of many characters available to play right now and she's sure to become a fan-favorite as early tracking for the film releasing on March 8 is through the roof! Fandango is reporting that advance tickets sales for Marvel's first superhero film starring a female is stronger than DC's Wonder Woman and even Aquaman, which has already grossed $1.1+ billion worldwide. If box office tracking is correct, Captain Marvel could make $100 - $120+ million on opening weekend.

Captain Marvel stars Brie Larson as Carol Danvers, an Air Force pilot who is infused with special powers before finding herself at the center of battle between two alien worlds that threatens Earth. Check out the spot below and more about the promotion at https://www.daveandbusters.com/captain-marvel, which will be activated on TV, digitally, socially, and in stores.

NFL Legend Joe Montana Bets Future of Cannabis is Branded Consumer Products

The newest California gold rush is all about weed or now more formally called cannabis. It was announced today that Montana, who founded a venture fund in 2015, is the latest notable investor in the space. He reportedly took part in a $75M fundraising round for Caliva, one of the top-selling marijuana brands in California. Former Yahoo! Inc. CEO, Carol Bartz also invested and joined their board of directors.

Caliva grows cannabis, has its a San Jose retail store, and delivers to the Bay Area. It also sells branded products (weed, joints, vape pens) at 200+ dispensaries in California, which is the world's largest legal market. More stores are planned across the state.

"Some are betting that the future lies in branded consumer products, rather than cultivation or retailing. The thesis is that as regulations ease and the legal market expands, U.S. consumers will want to get their hands on California cannabis, which is already familiar to connoisseurs who have been acquiring it on the black market for years."
