We never heard of the chick flick “Julie and Julia” before – until the official domain, JulieAndJulia.com, dropped and was auctioned off on DropCatch.
The 2009 romantic comedy slash drama is about the life of chef Julia Child in the early years of her culinary career with the life of young New Yorker Julie Powell, who aspires to cook all 524 recipes in Child’s cookbook in 365 days, a challenge she described on her popular blog that made her a published author.
Whatever.
This boring film got good ratings, apparently, and the domain name was registered in 2007 by Sony Pictures that produced the movie.
Fast forward 11 years, Sony dropped the domain; it was caught by DropCatch and someone actually bid $3,100 dollars on it.
That’s right.
Three plus grand for an obscure movie domain, that might have trademark issues, if Sony wakes up at some point.
Then again, someone is willing to spend money on a Warren Buffett typo.
