My Chosen Companies

I have decided to use "Blumhouse" productions for my film. This is 
because it makes low-budget successful films.


Jason Blum is an Academy Award-nominated and two-time Emmy and Peabody Award-winning producer. His multi-media company, Blumhouse Productions, pioneered a new model of studio filmmaking: producing high-quality micro-budget films. Blumhouse, which is in the midst of a ten year first look deal with Universal Pictures, has produced films like the highly profitable The Purge, Insidious, Ouija and Paranormal Activity franchises which have grossed more than $2 billion at the worldwide box office. Blum recently produced Jordan Peele’s Get Out which has grossed over $150 million domestically and earned a rare 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and M. Night Shyamalan’s Split which has grossed over $260 million worldwide. The company’s model began with the original Paranormal Activity, which wa $15,000 and grossed close to $200 million worldwide, making it the most profitable film in Hollywood.
I have also decided to use "Platinum Dunes" productions in association with "Blumhouse" because after researching horror film production companies, I found that usually they have more than one company to help distribute the film. As both these companies specialise in horror films this will also help the film to be successful.

Platinum Dunes is an American production company created in November 2001 by filmmakers Michael Bay, Brad Fuller, and Andrew Form. The company produces horror films, such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Purge, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Ouija and A Quiet Place.

On October 7, 2009, Paramount Pictures announced a first-look deal with Platinum Dunes. They plan to branch out of the horror genre into action and thrillers with this new deal. On May 27, 2010, it was announced they would work on the reboot to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film series of the same name. In 2014, Platinum Dunes was named The Hollywood Reporter's Producers of the Year. In 2015, the company was also named to The Hollywood Reporter's 30 Most Powerful Film Producers in Hollywood.
Lastly, I have chosen to include "Universal Pictures" as one of my production companies as it is a multi media conglomerate and will therefore help strengthen the film's advertising campaign. 


Universal pictures is an American film studio, owned by Comcast through its wholly owned subsidiary NBCUniversal, and is one of Hollywood's "Big Six" film studios. It's production studios are at 100 Universal City Plaza Drive in in Universal City, California. Distribution and other corporate offices are in New York City. Universal Studios is a member of the Motion Picture Association of America.

Certificates Analysis

This post will give you a detailed idea of what issues - bad language, drugs, sex and violence, or the use of discriminatory language or behaviour, for instance - that you're likely to find in the film. It also raises any other issues that may be of concern, such as divorce or bereavement.  U UNIVERSAL - SUITABLE FOR ALL - A U film should be suitable for audiences aged four years and over, although it is impossible to predict what might upset any particular child. - U films should be set within a positive framework and should offer reassuring counterbalances to any violence, threats or horror. PG PARENTAL GUIDANCE  - General viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children. - A PG film should not unsettle a child aged around eight or older. - Unaccompanied children of any age may watch, but parents are advised to consider whether the content may upset younger, or more sensitive, children.             ...
