After much research on Distribution Company that may distribute our media product, i have decided a universal studio is our ideal company. Universal Pictures (sometimes called Universal City Studios or Universal Studios for short), a subsidiary of NBC universal, is one of the six major movie studios. Founded in 1912 by Carl Lamelle, it is one of the oldest American movie studios still in continuous production running for over 95 years. On May 11, 2004, the controlling stake in the company was sold by Vivendi Universal to General Electric, parent of NBC. The resulting media super-conglomerate was renamed NBC Universal, while Universal Studios Inc. remained the name of the production subsidiary. In addition to owning a sizable film library spanning the earliest decades of cinema to more contemporary works, it also owns a sizable collection of TV shows through its subsidiary NBC Universal Television distribution. It also acquired rights to several prominent filmmakers' works originally released by other studios through its subsidiaries over the years. Its production studios are at 100 Universal City Plaza Drive in Universal City California. Distribution and other corporate offices are in New York City. Universal Pictures is the second-longest-lived Hollywood studio; a Viacom-owned Paramount picture is the oldest by a month. With this much experience behind universal pictures, it was only right that i chose it to distribute our media product. Also there success in thriller films that they have distributed in recent years such as:
Devil
Devil (also known as The Night Chronicles: Devil) is a 2010 US supernatural thriller film based on a story by M. Night Shyamalan, written by Brain Nelson and directed by John Eric Dowdle. The film was released on September 17, 2010, and is the first of The Night Chronicles trilogy, which involves the supernatural within modern urban society. The film's plot follows a group of people trapped inside an elevator that realize one of them is the Devil Universal studios budgeted this movie around ten million and grossed over fifty one million showing there smart business stature and experience coming into play..
The Fourth Kind
The Fourth Kind is a 2009 American science-fiction thriller film, starring Mila Jovovich, Charlotte Milchard , Elias Koteas, Will Patton, and Mia McKenna Bruce. The title is derived from the expansion of J. Allen Hynek's classification of close encounters with aliens, in which the fourth kind denotes alien abductions It claims to be fact and uses real archive footage of actual events. The film purports to be based on actual events occurring in Nome, Alaska in 2000, in which psychologist Dr. Abigail "Abbey" Tyler uses hypnosis to uncover memories from her patients of alien abduction, and finds evidence suggesting that she may have been abducted as well. The film has two components— dramatization, in which professional actors portray the individuals involved, and video footage purporting to show the actual victims undergoing hypnosis. (At some points in the film, the actual and dramatized footage is presented alongside each other in split-screen.) Throughout the film, Abbey is shown being interviewed on television at some point years after the events of 2000.The film was a box office success, earning US$47.46 million worldwide, from an estimated $10 million budget. Again Showing Universal studios smart and effective budgeting along with their experience.
All of these factors above played a part in why i have chose them to distribute our media product. They may also want to distribute our product as they have found much success in the thriller genres so they might see this as an opportunity. They have the experience and marketing scheme as they are well known worldwide in distributing excellent films worldwide.
