Film Distribution In The UK

UK Film Distribution.
Film Distributors set the release date of a film and the method by which the film is to be made available for viewing. For example, directly to the public (DVD, video on demand, download, television programs through broadcasting). Below i am going to attach a video telling you all about UK Film Distributions if you didn't understand my worded description above.


The two films I am going to be talking about is Terminator Genisys and Sinister, but before I do that the website i have taken it from is called 'Pearl and Dean', you may recognize that name sorely because whenever you watch a film at the cinemas there name always seems to pop up this is because, they are a British Cinema adverting company and was founded all the way back in 1953 by bothers Ernie and Charles Pearl, and Bob Dean. Pearl & Dean is now owned by Image Ltd, and controls numerous UK cinema sites including leading multiplex operators such as Empire, Showcase, and AMC and represents approximately half of the UK's independent cinemas.


In the picture above there is a film guide on Terminator Genisys telling you when the film was released. The genre of the film is an Action, Sci-Fi Adventure. The price, the estimated box office etc. The one that we are more focusing on is the film distributor which in this case is Paramount. 


In this picture above again there is a film guide on Sinister 2 telling you the same as the one above (Terminator Genisys). The genre of this film is horror. It tells you when it was released, the price, the estimated box office etc. Again though we're only focusing on the distributor, and this film was distributed by E1 Entertainment.
So what they say is very useful on the 'Pearl and Dean' website, they give exact and specific details about each film. They have trailers of new and old films you can watch as well.They also have competitions, quizzes, and a blog for anyone to use and enjoy.

Step 1: Production. Production is what refers to the task that must be completed during filming or shooting. This includes things such as setting up scenes and shooting etc.

Step 2: Distribution. Film distribution is the process of making the movie available for the viewing audience .

Step 3: Exhibition. This is publicly screening the finished product after all of the production and distribution has taken it's cause then the actual exhibition of the film can begin.

Following up from film distribution, I have picked two films from my collection and done some research on them the films being Cobra, and Tango and Cash which both happen to have Sylvester Stallone in because I don't know if you already knew but I have a huge obsession with the man, but anyway as I was saying about his films they are both distributed by Warner Brothers or as it says on the side of the videocassette Warner Home Video.
