How does a regional burger chain hijack a blockbuster movie launch?
With a campaign no studio would be dumb enough to try.

In honor of Spielberg’s new movie Ready Player One, we decided to change the name of Carl's Jr.'s Charbroiled Sliders to SpielBurgers.

The thing is, we never really asked Spielberg for permission.
As it turns out, he was not a fan.

To kick off the campaign, we created five slider-sized tribute films inspired by classic Spielberg movies.
