Distribution Companies (continued)

Paramount Pictures CorporationThis distribution company is very successful and is one of the largest grossing studios globally; this is a very appealing asset. It has distributed successful horror films such as

Paranormal Activity (grossing worldwide at a figure of $193,355,800 with a production budget of a mere $15,000)

Friday the 13th (grossing $59,204,601 at box office with a production budget of $550,000)

Paramount Pictures Corporation often uses digital distribution making exhibition available via Netflix, games consoles and other digital technology e.g. tablets, phones. Even though Paramount is very impressive we did not choose them as our distribution company as we felt they did not distribute enough horror films with the sub genre of slasher, and we wanted to choose an experienced distribution company for our specific genre.

Universal StudiosUniversal Studios is an American distribution company which has distributed horror films such as:

Jaws Jurassic Park The Lost World:

Jurassic Park Although these were successful horror films they do not fit in with our sub genre of slasher. The reason we considered using them is for their time in the business, Universal Studios is one of the oldest and most successful distribution companies, they have maintained all their glory. Universal Studios distributes a wide variety of films, which fall under many genres, however the sub genre that they don’t seem to distribute is slasher, which was very unfortunate for us. Due to this fact we decided not to use this distribution company.
