Filming plans

In this blog I will be talking about one of the requirements the production company did not meet and why we decided to change. I will also be talking about movies associated with the production movie we chose.


We ultimately decided to go with the production company “Spotlight Pictures” which is owned by Walt Disney Studios. This means it does not meet the requirement of being an independent production company like we originally wanted. It however specializes in both independent and comedy-drama movies. This means that our movie is more likely to be a success since this movie production company has had a lot of experience with comedy dramas and independent films.


Some movies associated with this production company is “The Tree of Life”, “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” and “The Descendants”. “The Tree of Life” is a 2011 pg 13 rated Drama/ Fantasy which premiered in 2011 at the Cannes Film Festival. It later made it to the theaters. It had a budget of 32 million and ultimately ended up earning a total of 61.7 million at the box office. This means this movie ended up with little to no debt. “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” is 2017 R rated Drama/ Crime. It had a budget of 12-15 million and earned 160.1 million at the box office. This means that the movie ended with little to not debt. “The Descendants” which is a 2011 R rated drama/ comedy drama and had a budget of 20 million and earned a total 177.2 million at the box office. This means that the movie ended up with little to no debt. This shows that this movie company has had experience with making successful comedies or/and dramas. It has even had success with making comedy drama. This means that our movie is more likely to be a success since this production company has had experience creating successful movies
