In the media, there are a number of major institutions that control the industry. Three of the biggest conglomerates in the film industry are Time Warner, Disney and NewsCorp.
Time Warner is one of the major film conglomerates. It owns companies including Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema, and therefore is responsible for major money-making films such as Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit. It also owns the major American broadcaster HBO, which owns TV series' such as Game of Thrones and also broadcasts a number of films.
The Walt Disney Company is considered one of the most recognisable of the film conglomerates. While it is associated frequently with cartoon animation from subsidiaries such as Pixar and Disney, it also owns subsidiaries that produce major blockbusters, primarily via Lucasfilm and Marvel Entertainment.
NewsCorp is mainly known now for its news companies, that have recently been in the media for phone hacking. However, it also owns the film company 20th Century Fox, and therefore has produced a large variety of films. In addition, it owns the broadcaster Sky, and therefore gains a large amount of revenue from showing films from other companies on any of its specific film channels.
I believe that the distributor of our film would be Paramount Pictures, which is a subsidiary of the conglomerate Viacom.
