Research has been done into distributors and what types of films they distribute. Walt Disney and 20th Century Fox unarguably distribute the most films of a certain genre, and they distribute the most films which they feel will become successful.
Walt Disney Pictures is set in America and are a very successful distributor which was founded in 1923. They have a lot of hit films which include Pirates of The Caribbean Dead Mans Chest which brought in $1,066,179,725 of worldwide gross and Toy Story 3 which created $1,063,171,911 in worldwide gross. But they do lack in distributing thriller films and films of the same family such as horror, which shows that it would not be a good choice for them to distribute our film, plus they most likely wouldn't. Walt Disney Pictures distribute and create films which are more family orientated, where the whole family can go to the cinema and watch a certain film.
On the other hand, while studying 20th Century Fox films, they do have a wide range of films from different genres. They have also distributed films which have been really popular such as Avatar which brought in $2,782,275,172 worldwide. Avatar is the most successful film ever and this shows what type of films Fox would distribute. But Fox seem to not distribute many films which are of a thriller or horror genre. They seem to distribute a lot of action and adventure films. This means that this would possibly not be a good choice as a distributor for our film Mindgames.
Our film is definately of a Hollywood standard and a company like Hammer or Universal would be suitable to distribute our film as they distribute more thiller and horror films. This would be a good choice for us, but even then a company would have to take a major risk in having trust in our film.
