What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
The film studio that we have vase to distribute our media product is Warner Brothers. The reason we have chosen Warner Brothers is because they are one of the big 6 studios and are well known around the world for making award winning films. Warner Brothers has also made multiple thriller film which is perfect for us as that is the genre of our film. This is also good for us because they obviously know how to distribute and sell a film successfully. This means that we will be making a hollywood film, which are normally the big successful films that brings in a lot at the box office.
Our film is not apart of a franchise it means we will have no pre established audience which means it will be harder for us to gain an audience and be a box office hit. It is vital that we promote our film well and create buzz within the film community in hope we will sell loads of tickets on the opening weekend. Our film is set to have stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio and J.K. Simmons, bot of which have loads of star power and will likely create buzz. Leonardo DiCaprio himself has been in multiple award winning/nominated films. He was also in Martin Scorsese's 2010 Shutter Island. Shutter island was a huge success making a staggering $41 million on the first box office opening. On the second weekend it went on to make $22 million. The film went on to make $294 million worldwide. This indicated to us that Leonardo DiCaprio must have had a good influence on the films success which is why we chose him to be in our film.
Warner Brothers also distributed The Accountant in 2016 which also starred J.K. Simmons. The film gained a 7.4/10 on IMDb, a 2/5 from the guardian and 4.5/5 from Amazon.co.uk. These are pretty good ratings for a thriller/crime film and was also a reason why we chose both Warner Brothers as our studio and J.K. Simmons to be in the film.
In conclusion warner brothers was our first choice because our actors, Leonardo DiCaprio and J.K. Simmons have worked with the studio in the past on successful films which is important to us along side making a lot of money at the box office.
