Research into distribution: Universal

Universal 


I suggest that we use Universal Studios to distribute our film as they have a record of producing successful films in similar genres as the one our film we be such as:

  • American Gangster
  • Alpha Dog
  • Miami Vice
  • Inside Man
  • The Black Dahila
  • Scarface
 Universal Studios was founded by Carl Laemmle, Mark Dintenfass, Charles O. Baumann, Adam Kessel, Pat Powers, William Swanson, David Horsley, Robert H. Cochrane, and Jules Brulatour. Laemmle watching a box office for hours, counting patrons and calculating the day's takings. Within weeks of his Chicago trip, Laemmle gave up dry goods to buy the first several nickelodeons. For Laemmle and other such entrepreneurs, the creation in 1908 of the Edison-backed Motion Picture Trust meant that exhibitors were expected to pay fees for Trust-produced films they showed. Based on the Latham Loop used in cameras and projectors, along with other patents, the Trust collected fees on all aspects of movie production and exhibition, and attempted to enforce a monopoly on distribution.

Resons to choose Universal:

  • They come with a premade reputation
  • Can offer a large budget ( for cast, crew and effects)
  • Will attract a larger audience
