 To promote the film, Paramount rigged 4,500 randomly selected Los  Angeles Times vending boxes with digital audio players which would  play the theme song when the door was opened. The audio players did  not always stay concealed, however, and in many cases came loose and  fell on top of the stack of newspapers in plain view, with the  result that they were widely mistaken for bombs. Police bomb squads  detonated a number of the vending boxes and even temporarily shut  down a veterans hospital in response to the apparent "threat".  Despite these problems, Paramount and The LA Times opted to leave  the audio players in the boxes until two days after the movies  opening.
