Celador started in 1983 producing the successful game show "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" which boosted their reputation. They were later taken over by another company but Celador management completed a buyout. Celador also earned £177 million by suing Disney for screening the show in the US without permission and selling the rights. As a small company, Celador funds its films through initial capitalization from investors, project capitalization by attracting funds for specific projects, and co-funding partnerships with other small companies. Notable films include Dirty Pretty Things, The Descent, and Slumdog Millionaire. However, Celador faces competition from larger studios like Sony Pictures Entertainment and Film4 who have higher budgets
