Hi it's Xena!
In class we researching funding, production, distribution, and exhibition for the genre of our portfolio.
FUNDING
For a horror movie the funding can come from different things. If you are an indie production company, you would have to find a way to fund the film yourself. If you're a "mini - major" then the major that purchased your company will give you the funding needed for the film. Finally, if you're a major you don't have to worry about funding because you can fund it yourself with no problem.
To make a horror movie it costs an average of $13 million. This goes to crews, casts, trailers, advertisement, DCPs, and VPFs.
PRODUCTION
The most common production companies for horror movies include, Blumhouse Productions, Dark Castle Entertainment, Ghost House Pictures, Hammer Film Productions, Helltimate Studio, Monkeypaw Productions, Palace Video (UK), Platinum Dunes, and Twisted Pictures.
DISTRIBUTION
There are different ways for a film to be distributed: DVDs, streaming websites, and movie theaters, just to name a few. There is also leasing and profit-sharing. In a lease, the distributor agrees to pay a fixed amount for distribution rights to the film. In profit - sharing distributors receive a percentage of the revenue earned from the film by distributing the revenue; this percentage is typically 10% - 50% range.
EXHIBITION
Exhibition is when the public sees a film that might involve the ownership, management, and running of movie theaters. But today the public can see a new movie anywhere: Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Paramount+, Hulu, and Netflix. Though there are many more, you can even go on a website and watch the movie for free instead of having to pay $30 or less.
