  • Universal Pictures Media Dossier
    Universal Pictures Media Dossier For: Dr. Gregory Levey Strategic Media Relations PC8107 By: Nikolai Pajkovic 500581586 [email protected] EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The aim of this public relations campaign is to first and foremost announce and promote the release of The Hunt directed Craig Zobel and produced by Blumhouse Productions. The film will be released in theatres across North America on June 12th, 2020. Universal Pictures cancelled the film’s initial release date of September 27th, 2019 following the Dayton, El Paso, and Gilroy shootings. Therefore, a secondary objective of this campaign is to offer the public clarification for the film’s initial cancellation, as well as provide an explanation as to why this summer presents us with a more suitable release date. In doing so, our talking points, backgrounder, media release and Q&A aim to help Universal Pictures deter any unnecessary and unwarranted criticism of the film leading up to its release. I do not think that Universal Pictures should shy away from the media or from discussing the film’s potentially provocative subject matter, but when doing so should stick to our talking points. From a marketing/promotions perspective, encouraging this kind of conversation around the film will likely draw major media attention, which would possibly lead to increased box office numbers. In this dossier, a fact sheet is offered as a quick way for journalists to acquire information about the film and its release. Our talking points are intended to be used by Universal Pictures employees when dealing with the media. They aim to diminish any instances of inflammatory questioning and also look to gently reverse the narrative that The Hunt could promote violence.

  • Case #2020-11 IRB Netflix Studios
    ALBUQUERQUE DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION November 23, 2020 Industrial Revenue Bond Hearing IRB 20-1: Netflix Studios LLC Project Case Number: IRB2020-11 REQUEST: Approval of $500,000,000 in City Industrial Revenue Bonds to be issued in two series is requested. PROJECT SUMMARY: Netflix Studios is planning to increase and expand their presence in Albuquerque by purchasing an additional 170 acres of land and investing more than $500 million in capital and another $1 billion in production spending, in addition to the company’s commitment of $1 billion in production spend under the 2018 local economic development transaction, to develop a major film and television production campus in Mesa Del Sol’s Planned Community Development. Netflix, Inc. is an American technology and media services provider and production company headquartered in Los Gatos, California. Netflix was founded in 1997 by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph in Scotts Valley, California. The company's primary business is its subscription-based streaming service which offers online streaming of a library of films and television series, including those produced in-house. Netflix purchased Albuquerque Studios in 2018, and has undertaken significant production expenditures of approximately $150 million over two years (prior to the Covid pandemic that has limited film and television production worldwide). In 2020, Netflix began a competitive site selection process to determine where to focus its future production investment for the next decade and beyond. Netflix has three primary production facilities in North America other than Albuquerque, including Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Vancouver, Canada. The company sought a location with good business resiliency (not subject to shutdowns due to weather or other natural disasters), and selected the site at Mesa Del Sol in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

  • How Are the Major Streaming Services Reshaping the Film Industry
    How Are the Major Streaming Services Reshaping the Film Industry Master Thesis MSc Strategy, Organization and Leadership Submission: May 9th, 2018 Normal pages: 106 (237.228 characters incl. spaces) Supervisor: Mehran Moghaddas (DVIP, INT) Students: Viktoria Vas & Gerda Binkyte Copenhagen Business School 2018 Abstract The paper examines the effects major streaming services, such as Netflix, Amazon, HBO have on the Danish film industry, and seeks to identify how individual producers and independent production companies in the country can exploit the rising opportunities. The research used a mix of deductive and inductive reasoning in the analysis, for which twelve semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with industry professionals from Denmark over the course of five weeks. This led to insightful findings that can be used for further researches for both academics and professionals. The analysis built on theories discussed in the literature review; Porter’s five forces (Porter, 1979), supply chain, emerging strategy (Mintzberg, 1987), marketing mix, four trajectories of change (McGahan, 2004). The findings include changes in certain links in the supply chain of film production, such as; affects on producers and film financing, changes in sales and distribution. While for producers SVOD services mainly bring additional financing opportunities, decreasing the power of DFI and the national broadcasters, sales agents and distribution is highly affected. Sales agents will need to adapt to the changing conditions, and transform themselves from traditional sales agents to agents who offer extra services for their clients. Distribution is affected in a way that its release windows system is disrupted and shortening some of these windows might not be avoided in the future.
