Film Industry task 1

What are the 6 big film companies?
Universal Pictures
Warner brothers
Paramount pictures
20th Century Fox
Sony pictures
Walt Disney Studios

Top grossing films of 2016
Finding Dory- released in summer holidays by Walt Disney Studios
Rogue One- released just before christmas by Walt Disney Studios
Captain America: Civil War- released in spring by Walt Disney Studios
The Secret Life of Pets- released in summer holidays by Universal Pictures
The Jungle Book- released in spring by Walt Disney Studios

All of these top grossing films were blockbusters, with Captain America: Civil War and Finding Dory being sequels and Rogue One being a prequel. 3 of these films are aimed at a younger audience, which helped their sales and attendance greatly. Most of these films are children's animated films. There is a lack of horror or comedy genres in the top grossing films (excluding Deadpool which also falls under the superhero/action category)

As we approach award season, there are less big blockbuster films and more independent and smaller film companies releasing movies. This is because they tend to win the awards over bigger name companies.
