• Distributed several crime thrillers, similar to our film. Two examples are 'Captivity' and 'Narc.‘
• Distributes British films as well as American films. E.g. The Theory of Everything

1. Theatrical release. It will be released on a national and European scale, similar to the Lionsgate distributed film ‘Testament of Youth.’ It is mainly specific to British audiences and will get a release at all main cinemas but as European countries like the film noir genre, it will be released there too.
