7. Conclusion
In conclusion looking at these four different film studio’s I would choose Universal
Studio. In my opinion I think this is the most successful film company. As Universal have
the best well known film due to them hitting Box Office of the most highest grossing
films at that time. For example if was to distribute my film with them it has a chance of
hitting box office as it is a very well known film company. Universal are also the most
successful out of all of them, for example it has it’s own city. Also from experience I know
this is a good film company as I have been to Universal Studio’s in Florida which attracts
a lot of tourists.
