In this blog I will be doing research on independent production companies. I will be determining some possible production companies me, and my partner might consider.
When doing this research, I had a hard time determining how I would go about doing the research. I at first started to look up independent production companies and then research them individually. This I however determined would take an excessive amount of time. I then decided to determine by looking at movies I had already researched and looking at the success of the production company that produced them.
One of the first movies I looked at was "Crazy Rich Asians" was a very successful 2018 comedy drama grossing 235.8 million dollars with a budget of 30 million dollars. It was produced by Color Force. This did not meet the requirement of me and my partner since Color Force is not an independent film company. Another film that I looked at was “The Way Way Back” which is a 2013 Pg-13 drama/ comedy-drama which grossed 26.9 million with a budget of 5 million. It was produced by four different independent production companies including Sycamore Pictures, MWM Studios, What Just Happened Productions and The Walsh Company. This means that all these movies are potential choices as a production company. Sycamore Pictures is an American production company which was founded in 2011. This company does not meet me and my partners requirement of having to have been successful with comedies or/and dramas. Many of this company’s movies didn’t manage to make up the money spent on the movie. One example is “Mississippi Grind” which was a 2015 drama which had a budget of 6 million dollars and grossed 422,746. Another example is “The Hollars” which was a 2016 P-13 drama/ comedy-drama that had a budget of 3,800,00 and grossed 1,138,609. This movie studio had two successful movies however most of their movies did not end up being successful or have not been released.
