What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

For my film opening, I have chosen  20th Century Fox as the distributor. The company 
was founded in 1935 and is a one of the six major American film studios, created in the 
merging of Fox Film Corporation and 20th Century Pictures. 

20th Century Fox have distributed a series of commercially successful films/franchises
like X-Men and Alien, and typically, the films they chose to distribute are those which 
are fantasy based, but with an element of real life to them.

Through the films that I have researched I have found that the two films that have been 
the most influential to mine: Fight Club and Trance, were distributed by 20th Century
Fox and so I felt that this distributor was the most appropriate. Also, films that are 
distributed by this institution tend to be released into multiplex cinemas which would 
enable my film to gain a higher profile and perhaps gain popularity.

In addition, I feel that by choosing this distributor, it will make it more likely for my film 
to have a standard release and be released on DVD and Blu-ray after its release in the 
cinema as it is a highly influential company.
