The Blade Runner curse?

Came across this while reading up on Pan Am. Never heard of it, but amusing.

Interesting. I guess much the same argument could be advanced for 2001, with at least two of the same companies (weren't Pan Am and Bell both in that?).

I would think that the continued success of Hilton and Coca-Cola would preclude any sort of curse being drawn from 2001 and Blade Runner, respectively. People have too much time on their hands, I guess.
