There are many institutions that may have distributed our product as many institutions are now vertically integrated with what they produce (conforming to more than one genre) to engage a wider audience.
Obsessed, our researched product was distributed by Screen Gems Pictures.
They are an American subsidiary company of Sony Pictures Entertainment. Screen Gems produces and releases films that fall between the wide-release movies traditionally developed and distributed by Columbia Pictures and those released by Sony Pictures Classics. Many of its releases are of the horror, thriller, action, and comedy genres. I think they would have produced our product because our film genre conforms to what they seem to specialise in. They produced other films such as “Vacancy” and “The Messengers” which are two completely different film types however they all follow the typical codes and conventions of a thriller film and I think our film would appeal to this institution. The certificate for Obsessed was 12A, Vacancy 15 and The Messengers also a 15. Our film would clearly fit into their institution as our target audience was aimed towards 15-18 year olds, therefore would hold a 15 certificate.
Furthermore I think our film product would attract other media institutions as our second researched product, Prom Night, was produced by Alliance Films which is a Canadian production company who have produced a diverse amount of films; therefore our product would have no problem in falling into their category. They grossed a profit of $57,197,876 worldwide for Prom Night, which shows that that genre was popular and successful, and should hope our product will follow its
lead too.
