Distribution Company Choice

 

My group has chosen Lionsgate as our production indent because Lion gate produces a lot of horror movies and this is perfect for our film because we have chosen horror as our genre.

 

Lionsgate Entertainment was founded in 1997 by Frank Johnson JR and it is a Canadian-American entertainment company. Its headquarters are located in Santa Monica, California and United States. The company includes many divisions: Lionsgate Films, Lionsgate Home Entertainment, Lionsgate Music & Publishing, and Lionsgate Television.

 

 There is another production company with the similar name Lions Gate Films although both names refer to the same Vancouver landmark, the Lions Gate Bridge it is not the same production indent.  ‘Lionsgate films does not have a space between the lions and gate. This is the difference between the two production indents.

 

Lionsgate’s library contains films from the respective companies Lionsgate succeeded-in-interest, such as Trimark Pictures, Vestron Pictures, and Artisan Entertainment, in addition to their in-house material. On November 18, 2012 the production company Lionsgate announced it has passed over the $1 billion mark for the first time with the success of The Hunger Games and the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2

 

Lionsgate has produced iconic movies such as:

1. The Saw movies
2. Ju-on: The Grudge
3. Sinister
4. The Twilight Saga.
5. Texas Chainsaw
6. The cabin in the woods
7. The Possession...Etc.
