Se7en
Cecchi Gori Pictures and New Line Cinema are the production
companies of Se7en.
New Line Cinema has distributed in many film makings, and is
a common company, producing a lot of films and distributed in making films. The
company has distributed in 500 films, and made 380 themselves, including
popular films such as Hairspray, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King,
The Notebook and the Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. From these films I can see
that this company make a variety of films, ranging over the genres. New Line
Cinema was founded in 1967.
Cecchi Gori is a much smaller company, and only produced 6
films, including Se7en. The company has mainly made films that are in the genre
of romance, drama and comedy, such as Life is Beautiful and Man Trouble. However
there is one film, like Se7en called A Bronx Tale which is to do with crime and
drama, showing that Se7en wasn’t a one off film in the genre. They are planning
to make a new film called Silence, which will be realised in 2015.
New Line is very popular, and became a unit of Warner Bros.
Entertainment in 2008. It is an American film studio, and is very well known,
large profit organisations. The film Se7en alone made $316, 400, 000 Worldwide,
while its estimated budget was $33, 000, 000. Another film made by this
company; The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, made $303,003,568 just in the USA
by 2013, and $11,601,538 in the UK by
December 2012, after the film was released in 2012.
Cecchi Gori Pictures originally came from Italy, and have
produced and developed ‘some of the most creative and talented films to come
out of Italy.’ He isn’t as well known as New Line Cinema, but has made some
good money out of films. Apart from Se7en, the film Cecchi Gori produced; Life
is Beautiful made $57,598,247 by October 1999, 2 years after the film was
released.
American Gangster
The film American Gangster has a couple of production
companies who helped make the film. Universal Pictures, Imagine Entertainment,
Relativity Media (in association with) and Scott Free productions (in
association with). American Gangster made $265,495,454 worldwide.
Universal Pictures has distributed in 5623 films and
produced 3487 films, including fast and furious. This company is a massive
company, and has been around since 1920s, founded in 1912. Universal Pictures
is well known worldwide. This is such a big company, they even have their own
website.
Universal Pictures in an American motion picture studio. This
company is very well known worldwide. The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
(made in 2006) made $62,514,415 in the USA by September 2006, the same year it
was released! It made a final of $158,468,292 worldwide in 2006.
I looked at a couple of films from Universal Pictures, such
as Forbidden, Mamma Mia, and the Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift. These films
range from the genres: crime, drama, romance, comedy, musical and action. I can
see from these films that this company might not do horror as much, and just
make films for young adults, however I found out later that Universal Pictures
helped produced Scarface, which is another Gangster film. From this I can see
that Universal Pictures do create Gangster films.
Imagine Entertainment is an American film and television
production company founded in 1986. They have produced 104 films, including
Curious George and Katy Perry: Part of Me. The film Katy Perry: Part of Me made
a total of $32,151,701 worldwide in August 2012, the same year the film was
released. Imagine Entertainment are quite known, but not as well known as other
companies.
I looked at a couple of films from Imagine Entertainment;
Take Me Home Tonight, Flightplan, Psycho, and the Nutty Professor. These films
ranged from comedy, drama, romance, horror, mystery and thriller, showing me
that this company works over a range of different genres. I can see from this
that this company like to do horror.
Pulp Fiction
Pulp Fiction is produced by the companies Miramax Films
(presents), A Band Apart and Jersey Films. Pulp Fiction made $213,928,762
worldwide.
Miramax Films have distributed in 586 films and produced 238
films, showing that this company is pretty big and well known. This company is
big, and was founded in 1979. Miramax is an American entertainment company
known for independent and foreign films. Miramax also have their own website.
I looked at a couple of films made by Miramax Films,
including Birthday Girl, Muriel’s Wedding, On the Line, Last Night, and The
Boys Are Back. The genres of these films are; drama, romance, comedy, family,
crime and thriller which was Birthday Girl. Birthday girl seems a bit different
from all of the other films, as the others are mainly to do with romance and
comedy whereas birthday girl seems on the dark side.
A Band Apart is a smaller film company who have produced 29
films, created by Quentin Tarantino and Lawrence Bender, which has been active
since 1991. They have made films such as From Dusk Till Dawn in 1996, which was
very popular. It made a total of $33,500,000 worldwide when its estimate was
only $18,000,000.
Snatch
Snatch was produced by the two companies: Columbia Pictures
Corporation and SKA films. Snatch made a total of $30,093,107 in the USA by
March 2001 and $12,137,698 in the UK by October 2000. The film came out in
2000.
Columbia Pictures Corporation have produced 2901 films and
distributed in 23. This shows how well known and big this company is, as they
have produced a lot of films and are well known anyway for good film making.
Columbia Pictures Corporation is an American film production and distribution
studio, that is a party of the Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group, owned by
Sony Pictures Entertainment, which are all well known. Columbia Pictures got
founded in 1924, which shows me that this company is a good company as also
it’s been around for so long.

I have looked at some of the films Columbia Pictures have
made, including Ghost Rider, The Legend of Zorro, Hero, Stealth. From these I
can see what type of films this company makes, ranging from action, adventure,
sci-fi, fantasy, thriller, comedy, drama. I can see this company mainly likes
to release adventure films.
SKA films have produced only 12 films, meaning they’re quite
a small company. This includes; lock, stock and two smoking barrels which is
also another Gangster film, they both full under the category of thriller and
crime. This company has also produced other films such as Mean Machine and Slept
Away, which are comedies and dramas. This shows me that this company mainly work
with Gangsters and comedy.
The departed
The departed is made by Warner Bros. (presents), Plan B
Entertainment, Initial Entertainment Group, Vertigo Entertainment and Media
Asia Films (in association with). The departed made $289,847,354 worldwide in
2007. The film came out in 2006.
I think that Warner Bros. is the biggest or one of the
biggest film making companies. They have made many Gangster films such as
Bullets or Ballots, The Public Enemy, White Heat and Angels with Dirty Faces.
They have made many more, too. This company is a very well known company, and
makes all sorts of different genres for movies too such as adventure and comedy.
One of these examples is Harry Potter, which
is much different than the departed however it is well known throughout the
world. They have their own website, and got founded in 1918. This company is
based in America.
From this I can see that the Warner Bros are the biggest company and most popular. I could link this to my gangster film as it is a very big company.
