Which Companies have distributed your movies?


Scott Pilgrim vs the World was dirstributed by Universal Pictures. Universal Pictures is a 100 year old Company founded in the United States. They distribute a large number of movies today and the genres they distribute for are non specific. They disrtibute movies that are comedies, thrillers, dramas, action movies, children's movies, adventure movies and horrors. Many of their movies seem to be from the comedy genre, as Scott Pilgrim is, such as Johny English Reborn, Ted, Paul, Bridesmaids and another movie we have looked at, Kick Ass.

Iron Man was distributed by Paramount Pictures. Paramount Pictures is a Company that was founded in the early 20th century in the United States. Like Universal Pictures they distribute a large number of movies today that are from all genres. They distibute a larger number of comedy movies and horror movies, such as Friday the 13th, the Paranormal Activity movies, and comedies such as drillbit taylor, the dictator and Little Fockers. Action/adventure movies are also distributed quite a lot by the company such as G.I. Joe Rise of the Cobra and Transformers.

Sherlock Holmes was distributed by Warner Bros Pictures. Warner Bros Pictures is a company founded in 1918 in California, United States. Warner Bros are often specific in what they distribute. As well as being famous for their animations (such as children's programs Looney Toons and Tom and Jerry, and movies Pokemon, Happy Feet and Top Cat) they are also famous for action adventure movies. They have distributed movies such as Harry Potter, Batman, and Green Hornet. As a company they link in very well with the type of movie we are looking at.

Green Hornet and Hancock were both distributed by Columbia Pictures. Columbia Pictures is another company that was founded in 1918 in California, United States. Columbia Pictures distribute movies from all sorts of genres. They have distrubuted many movies from the comedy and action genres in the past few years such as Step brothers, 21 Jump Street, Men in black 3, and they have recently distributed popular action movies such as James Bond Skyfall and Django unchained. Columbia Pictures have also distributed other movies in the genre we are looking at, such as another movie we've researched, The amazing Spiderman.
