Institutional Research
After doing some in depth institutional research we have decided to choose 20th Century Fox as our main production company, as it is proven that they have had much success over the years since they were founded in 1935. Over the past 78 years they have helped create many well-known thriller movies which is yet another reason that we decided they were the best company for our movie.

With this great amount of experience, they have produced many fantastic films such as Prometheus, X-men and Die Hard which are all esteemed films, which adds to the reasons for our choice as we know that their skill and understanding of the film industry would allow them to be able to help make our film just as incredible as those previously named.

As for the distribution aspect of our film we decided to choose Lions Gate Entertainment as our main distributor as they are a rather new company which gives them an edge compared to the older companies as they have newer ideas of how to get their films across to the audience and distribute it a more innovative manner.

Lions Gate Entertainment is part of a vertically integrated organisation as they own several separate divisions including Lions Gate Films, Lions Gate Home Entertainment, Lions Gate Music and Publishing and Lions Gate Television. With this in mind, it will be very significant for the distribution phase of film as it may allow them to promote our film on a much larger scale as well as allowing the film to be available in various formats such as the cinema to DVD’s which would increase its popularity and our income.

This company has also had some major previous successes including films such as The Punisher, Abduction, The Expendables and American Psycho, which have all had large amounts of fame with help from Lions Gate Entertainment, which is was an important aspect whilst deciding the distribution company. These films that are named are also thriller films which is significant as they follow the ideas of our film, so we know that this company is more than capable of doing a good job distributing this style of films.
