Film Institutions.


Your chosen movie
1) What film have you chosen? 
Hunger games:Catching Fire
2) Why did you choose this film in particular? 
I watched it recently.
Institutional background
Use IMDB to find out the institutions behind your chosen film. Find your film, click on Company Credits and then look for the production company and UK distributor.

1) What was the film studio or production company behind your chosen film? E.g. Warner Brothers, Paramount etc.
Colour Force.
2) Who was the distributor for the theatrical release of the film in the UK?
Lionsgate.

No brand loyalty
1) What genre does your chosen film fit into?
Sci-fci
2) How can you tell it fits that genre? Be specific with reference to the trailer.
Because it does things that rarely happen in this world in today's day and age for example letting people aged 12-16 fight to the death.
3) Is your chosen movie a sequel?
Yes.
3a) If Yes, how does the film use the original movie or franchise as part of its marketing? 
They don't mention stars and directors to attract costumers because their is already a fan-base from the first movie and readers of the book.
3b) If No, are previous films by the writer, director or star mentioned in the trailer? 



It’s all a matter of timing
1) What was the UK release date for your chosen film?
November 11th (UK)
Novemeber 22nd(USA)
2) When did the first trailer appear on YouTube for your movie? Find the earliest example you can and embed it in your blog.
The 21st of july 2013.3) What other examples of marketing (teaser trailers, main trailers, newspaper or TV interviews etc.) can you find for your chosen film from before the film’s release date?




It’s a social thing
1) What was the word-of-mouth like for your chosen film? If you can’t find tweets (probably blocked) use the IMDB user review rating or the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer rating to judge whether the public have given the movie a good review.
This movie is rated 7.7 on IMDB2) Find three quotes (no more than 25 words each) from user reviews of your movie to create a picture of what the public reaction to the film has been. Post them on your blog.
You have to have a strong stomach to stomach some of the things that happen in Battle Royale. Its like Bollywood was sugar coating the themes in Battle Royale and what do you end up with? A version which your granny can watch with you without feeling too offended. If that was the case then Hunger Games should never have been made. Well it shouldn't have!

Risky business
Use IMDB to find out the box office records for your chosen film. Find your film, click on Company Credits and then Box Office/Business.

1) What was the original budget for your chosen film?
$78 million2) How much money did the film make in the opening weekend?
$161.1 million
3) How much money has the film made in total? (Look for the subheading ‘Gross’ which has the total box-office earnings listed).
$409.4 million.
