5. Which distribution company suits our
opening the most?
I think that Momentum Pictures would be the most suited to our
film opening, as Lionsgate and 20th Century Fox distribute
slasher/sci-fi films more frequently than Momentum, which
makes our movie more compatible with their fan base and
expertise on distributing a psychological horror or a supernatural
horror such as The Woman In Black or Sinister
