Distributors Information
Distributors
A film distributor is an organization which puts money into the production for marketing purposes and to make sure of the screenings of it. Marketing involves the creation of the adverts for the film whether it be for magazine, newspaper, posters, television advertisements, trailers etc. They must also arrange adapted media for foreign countries, this means subtitles in order for all audiences to have an understanding. It is up to the distributor to convince the exhibitor of the success of the showing and the profit which will be made. Once arranged it is then decided the amount of gross ticket sales to be paid to the distributor.

In the United Kingdom unlike Hollywood many films are independent or co-dependent productions. Hollywood studio outputs are made to be sent all around the world where as the majority of UK films are not. Canal and Image UK are two of the right holders in Britain presently.

It is clear to see that the British film industry has increased massively over the past few recent years to thriving £3.3 billion industry that has thousands of small companies behind it.

For our film “Miss-Fit” we noted all the films we had researched and the distributors behind them and they were:
· Mean girls – Summit Entertainment
· Not anther teen movie- Columbia
· Cinderella story – Warner Brothers
· White chicks – Columbia and Revolution
· Miss Congeniality – Warner Brother
· The Proposal – Touchstone Pictures
· The ugly truth – Columbia and Lakeshore Entertainment
· The princess diaries – Walt Disney Pictures
By looking at the list above Columbia and Warner Brother are two distribution companies that are popular among movies in the market. We chose Columbia for the reason of our film is a high school based comedy teen movie. Similar to ours is “Not another teen movie”, which a successful movie was showing us that Columbia understand the best methods of distribution for media like our production.
