Rogue Pictures was formed in 1997 as a division of PolyGram Pictures but dropped the name in 2000 after Universal Pictures acquired PolyGram. The Rogue Pictures name was revived in 2004 as part of Universal-owned Focus Features to distribute "high-quality suspense, action, thriller and urban features." Focus Features acts as both a producer and distributor for art house films and foreign films. The document discusses the history and films of Rogue Pictures, Focus Features, and Warner Bros. before concluding that the group chose Focus Features to distribute their film noir due to the genre of films Focus Features has successfully distributed in the past, such as Brick.

8. Our Final choice
For our Film Noir, our group has decided to use
Focus Features as our institution.
We have chosen this because of the type of
films that they have already distributed, (For
example Brick) are in the same genre as our Film
Noir, and are very successful in the film world.
