A film distributor is responsible for releasing the film and making it available for the public to watch at the cinema or buy on DVD or Bluray. In order to achieve this they are responsible for posters, newspaper advertisements, magazine advertisements and trailers to be shown at the cinema and on television.
Large distribution companies, such as Columbia Pictures often have a much larger budget to spend on advertising a film because they are so well known and part of massive media conglomerates.
The comedy film, Step Brothers had a budget of $65,000,000 (roughly £40,800,000) and was distributed by Columbia Pictures.
Four Lions had a budget of £2.5 million and was distributed by Optimum Releasing.
Other comedy films Optimum Releasing has distributed: A Town Called Panic and Cockneys Vs Zombies
Other comedy films Columbia Pictures has distributed: Grown Ups, Zombie Land, Pineapple Express, Hancock, Don’t mess with the Zohan, Super Bad, White Chicks
I would suggest that our film be distributed by Optimum Releasing because the company is known for working with low budget comedy films.
