Assignment 39 -Distribution Company Vincent Davenport
Text
We have gone for a major distribution company.A subsidiary from Sony called Pixel Pictures.
Similar films with similar budgets.
First of all Our Distribution company is a conglomerate off of Sony which funds for most of the financial payments Pixel Pictures have.
As researched in previous assignments, we know that film distribution companies have an average of $ 7 million budgeting for horror/possession films.
Examples of these are: SAW II -Lionsgate - $5m Chucky 2 - Universal Pictures -$13m Exorcism Of Emily Rose - Screen Gems- $19.3 Insidious - Momentum Pictures - $1.5m Conjuring - Warner Bros Pictures - $20 m
Location/Venues Released
Here is a list of horror movies which tell us about the distribution company used to release the film and where : Sea Without Shore - Maverick Motion LTD - KC(Followed by Q&A discussions) Conjuring - Warner Bros- Saturation Paranormal Activity - ICON - Nationwide Insidious - Momentum Pictures - UK wide Annabelle - Warner Bros - Saturation Seed Of Chucky - Momentum Pictures - Vue West End & Nationwide.
-Overall the key reasoning for why we have chosen a Distribution company which targets major horror films, is for our type of viewers.
-Mainstream films are often the most viewed compared to independent films therefore there is a bigger possibility that our films will make a better profit provided the large funding we receive from sony.
-This film uses a lot of stereotypical props, story line and motions which is key for mainstream films whereas independent movie viewers look for a niche selling point.
