Funding, Production, and Distribution for Films

 For creating a Sc-Fi film or any film in general, it takes a lot for funding the film, producing the film and distributing the film. Big films with big followings also have a high funding so one can imagine how much a company can fund.


Production Companies

-Paramount Pictures
-Warner Bros. Pictures
-20th Century Studios
-Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer 
-Columbia Pictures
-Universal Studios
-Walt Disney Studios
-Dreamworks Pictures
-Miramax
-Dream Works Animation
-Netflix
-Marvel studios

Sci-Fi Production Companies

-Dimension Films
-Magnolia Pictures
-American International Pictures
-Amblin Partners 
-Constantin Films
-RLJE Films
-Hammer Film Productions 
-Gorky Film Studio
-Troma Entertainment

If I would personally would make a film and would want a specific company to produce it, it would be Disney because of how large they are. The overall worth of Disney is over 255 billion dollars and have multiple hands in streaming platforms like Hulu and Disney Plus. So Disney is quite a large company.  Not only that but Disney could put my film on those streaming platforms like Disney Plus so people who are fans of Sci-Fi can watch the film and can enjoy it. Since Disney is mostly targeted towards children, a way filmakers can have there film produced by Disney is if its a child film or an E for everyone film. Disney is known for its family friendly persona so if a film is r rated or isn't of age for children, then Disney might not finance it. So if I would want Disney to finance my film, I would need to make sure its rated E for everyone and doesn't contain gore.Disney Movies and Shows | Disney+

A good distribution company for my Sci-Fi film would be Magnolia Pictures. Magnolia Pictures has been the lead independent film distributor for almost 20 years. Magnolia Pictures is the theatrical and home entertainment distribution arm of the Wagner/Cuban Companies, boasting a library of over 500 titles.
