Established in 1935 it is one of the 6 big film studios in the USA.
Films created include Star Wars and Avatar
20th Century Fox tend to produce Comedy/Fantasy movies
more than horror.
They would generally tend to distribute horror films rather than
produce them
I need to consider 20th Century Fox as a potential institution to
produce my horror film
I would most likely get 20th Century Fox to distribute my film
rather than produce it as that is what they do best

Warner Bros is a film studio which was established in 1923 with its headquarters in
California and New York
Popular films produced include Batman The Dark Knight and Harry Potter
Genres produced include Comedy, Action, Romance, Fantasy and Horror
Warner Bros target a wide range of audiences and a variety of genres
To consider Warner Bros as a producer of my Horror film would be wise due to the fact
that they have had a number of successful horror hits
They tend to not only produce but distribute successful box office movies such as Friday
the 13th and The Wicker Man
Overall Warner Bros is a more attractive producer and distributer than 20th Century Fox
as it attracts a wider audience and has successfully done so in the past

Founded in 1912 it is one of the oldest film studios in USA
The target genre is generally in the direction of Drama, Romance
and Adventure
Popular titles include The Bourne Ultimatum, Brokeback Mountain,
Atonement and King Kong
Horror films produced by Universal Pictures include Dracula and
Drag Me To Hell
As they do not focus on horror in general this would not be an ideal
institute for me to consider
20th Century Fox and Warner Bros are more promising in both the
distribution and the production of my horror movie

Lionsgate was founded in 1997 in Vancouver, Canada
Known to be the most commercially successful independent film
and television distribution company in North America
Popular films include Kick Ass, Rambo and The Bank Job
Majority of the films produced fall into the Drama, Action and Thriller
genres
More recently the have created horror films which have been
extremely successful such as the Saw sequel and The Last Exorcism
Lionsgate has only created horror films in the last few years which
have been successful
It may not be a suitable producer or distributor as it has only just
begun to produce horror based films

Founded in 1934 in London, UK
Known for producing Horror, Sci-Fi, Thrillers and Comedies
Popular films produced include Dracula, The Mummy and The Phantom of
the Opera
Hammer Films is a significantly smaller company than Warner Bros and 20th
Century Fox
Main genre produced is Horror
I believe Hammer Films would definitely be the best producer and distributor
of my Horror film
Firstly it has a high focus on the Horror genre and secondly it is a smaller
company and would be cheaper to produce the film
Hammer Films knows all about horror and has created some classics in the
past so they know exactly what ingredients are required to create a fantastic
horror film
