Market position and competitors

Celador are in clear competition with other main selling film companies but compared to some major companies like Sony they earn a lot less.

Where as the bigger film producers such as Sony make a lot more money but that is only because there films are a lot more known for example the film amazing Spiderman 2 they had a budget of $200 million and made about $700 million.

Another reason for Sony to make more money then Celador is because in the past 2 years Sony have released 7 major films where as Celador have only released a few films in the matter of 10 years. Another film is 28 days later made by DNA films the budget for the film is £5million and the box office price they made was £52,833,190.55

Film 4 productions also created the film This is England which the budget for the film was £1,472,500 and the profit they made was £5,058,600.

Celador is a lot more successful that film 4 because they are a bigger film company but Sony is makes a lot more money than Celador which makes Sony more successful than Celador.
