3. â The Hunger Games films
â The Divergent Series

What other films have they made?
4. â Films they have previously made, including The
Hunger Games, have a target audience of teenagers,
and this would be appropriate for our film as our
target audience is teenagers, predominantly aged
between 17 and 24.
â Our film is a simple concept, so the budget doesnât
need to be massive.
â It is the seventh most profitable studio.
Why would they make our film?
5. Examples of marketing they have done before:
âPosters
âOnline marketing campaign
âNewspaper and magazine articles
âTrailer
âTwitter hype
Lionsgate had a small marketing budget of $45 with 21 staff working on the
marketing, and still managed to produce such high level interest. They have
innovative ways of creating excitement, such as the âtwitter puzzleâ and the
tumblr blog about the costumes and fashion.
How would they market our film?
6. â Lionsgate Films predominantly specialize in science
fiction, action and thriller films, where their most
successful ones were The Hunger Games films, which
in the thriller genre, like our film would be.
Specialized genres
7. â The target audiences for both The Hunger Games and
Twilight: Breaking Dawn were mainly teenagers, and
our thriller would also suit this audience.
â Now You See Me is another example of a Lionsgate
film which interests younger people.
â I think the concept of our film would appeal to a
similar audience, like the rest of Lionsgateâs films.
