10. Conclusion
From the research that I have gathered I have come to the
conclusion to distribute with the film studio Lionsgate as
from my results I know that they specialize in Horror and
Thriller films witch suits my film the most also my favorite
thriller Now You See Me was made their so I would love
my film to be based on that for e.g. the twists used etc. by
watching this film it inspired my chosen idea. Also this film
studio may prioritize my film more that other studios like
Paramount and Columbia also as they aren't as big as the
others I will have more control but Lionsgate is the 6th
most profitable film so will still have a massive audience.
