2. What is a film distribution company?
• A film distribution company is a company that
is in charge of distributing films , it is the
company that decides whether this film will be
seen in the cinema or directly viewed onTV and
also sold in DVD’s or not.A film distributor is
responsible for the marketing of a film.The
distribution company is usually different from
the production company. ... A distributor may
do this directly, if the distributor owns the
theaters or film distribution networks, or
through theatrical exhibitors and other sub-
distributors.
3. An example
• Universal Pictures is an example of a distribution film company. On of
the films it distributed was Despicable me which had the highest gross
profit . Because Despicable me was a follow up from the first one the
marketing was a lot easier to catch peoples attention, mainly family
and younger generations
One of the marketing strategies were
A website with clips of the minions, fan videos, soundtracks and
events etc.
