You misunderstood my point: The brand recognition comes AFTER the movie has introduced the basics of the franchise, not before. Very much what Kudryavka said.
It's very much like introducing someone to classic novels by introducing them to the movie adaptation: vividly introduce the image and gist of the story into their heads so that they'll become interested in the original source. Whether they succeed or not depends on how well the movie is done of course
