Production company research

Blumhouse productions was founded  by Jason blum. The first success came in the shape of paranormal activity, where the budget was a mere 15k, and the managed to gross $194 million. They also produced the sequels to this, the insidious series ( grossing $94 million), and the purge (grossing $94.3 million)

This is primarily a horror production company, but sometimes they try different genres. Here is the filmography

The ratings weren't too high for anything comedy (looking at you best night ever), so I have a feeling they'll stick to horror from now on.






















Next up on the list is Twisted Pictures.


Twisted Pictures was formed in 2004, after the success with saw, which grossed $103 million dollars. Since then they have only really stuck to horrors (Take notes Blumhouse). They are incredibly good at horrors too, if we see the filmography:

There isn't as much detail as the one with blumhouse, but we can see that all have had a substantial profit, apart from the ones not applicable which are because they weren't in cinemas.
