Lionsgate would of been a great distribution company to have chosen but sadly most of their superhero films were animated and rather indie and unheard of so the chances of the film doing well seemed rather slim. Columbia pictures was then an option considered for they had a great range of superhero comedies such as Hancock and Hellboy but they did not seem widely accepting of indie films so that was put to one side.

Universal studios when discussed felt right because the were reputable and when the time for sequels came such as both hellboy2 and kickass2 they were the distribution company chosen because they know how to handle distribution well and as its known sequels don't tend to do as well but they managed to still achieve $60,795,985 for kickass 2, Columbia pictures handled the distribution of the first hellboy as had a worldwide gross of $99,318,987 which is a high 8 figures but when universal distributed the sequel hellboy 2 they achieved $160,388,063 which a massive increase compared to the original. Universal is very well known by our target audience which is teenagers and young adults so universal is very good at marketing to them with things like online marketing campaigns and social media marketing and with such a large name and following fans are more willing to give the film a chance although with a small budget their expectations might be a bit too high for the film to satisfy.

The film should be left as streaming and downloadable for physical copies will cost a lot for little sales for its the older generation that will buy DVD's but they are not the target audience and with marketing mainly being online there will be much less exposure to those older decreasing the chance of them buying a physical copy even further. ]]> 2017-02-03 05:27:06 UTC https://padlet.com/danieltrozy/y67rwq2w3bld/wish/151349278
