Our Distribution Plan

The model we will follow for our film is similar to "What We Do In The Shadows". This is simply because there are not very many blockbusters that are comedy type movies that incorporate horror into the film. It is even rarer that these movies do well in any type of wide release. "Scary Movie 5" made a decent profit but it was panned critically as well as released at the end of the height of the popularity of spoof movies that make fun of conventions of horror movies as well as popular horror movies of pop culture crazes as well. The "Scary Movie" franchise was in it's fifth iteration in a franchise that had clout or name recognition. Our movie is not releasing in this spoof fad time-period nor is it a spoof and it is not of a recognizable franchise. Therefore, the film is best suited for a very limited theatrical release so a smaller distributor not too dissimilar to the type of distributor "What We Do in the Shadows" used. If the film is critically acclaimed a larger distributor may come on to fill that need and if not then the rights will more than likely be transferred to a streaming service for a period of time before going to rent service like an Amazon Prime or YouTube.

We made it so the music ends at the title screen so its cleaner.
