Distributor Research

The distributors are the people responisble for the marketing and release of the film after it has been approved by the post-production crew.
In most situations the distributor agrees a contract with the production company on how much they will be paid from the ticket sales before the film is released. They agree this amount by first taking their 'floor' or 'house allowance' costs plus profit before passing the rest back to the production company and anyother agencies used.
Famous examples of distributors are: Pathe, Momentum Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures and Columbia pictures.

Below are some of the distributors titles:

lionsgate- cabin in the woods

Picture
Lionsgate who distributed 'Cabin In The Woods' only gained $14,000,000 in the opening week. It got a final gross of over $65,000,000 worldwide. Lionsgate has also distributed.
This effected what distribution company we went with.

fox-Jennifer's body

Picture
20th Century Fox is the main distribution company for Jennifer's Body. During it's opening weekend it gained over $6,000,000 in the USA and only got a final gross of over $16,000,000 in the USA.
Fox didn't seem like a good choice for a distribution company as it didn't gain much money for it's final gross.

'The Exocist' - In its opening weekend it gained £151,714 in the UK. In January 2004 it's worldwide gross was £357,500,000.
Warner Bros seemed like the best choice fo a distribution company as it grossed more than the Fox and Lionsgate movies also present on this page.
