Research: Existing Distribution Companies

1.Zodiac

It was distributed by Paramount Pictures in the US and by Warner Bros internationally. The marketing tools that they used were posters, adverts in forms of a movie trailer and it had its own website. It was widely released in several cinemas. After its release, it became available on DVD, Blu Ray. In the box office, it made over $84 million and its DVD sales was 21,139,119.

Fatal Attraction

It was distributed by Paramount Pictures and it was widely released. As it was released in 1987, they may have used posters and a movie trailer. From 2005, there was Special Collector's Edition of the Film and in 2009, it was released on Blu - ray. It did exceedingly well in the box office as it made $ 320,145,693 worldwide and made $70,000,000 in rentals  

Paramount Pictures owns CBS Television Studios & the CW Television Network.In an addition to this, it has a hotel called 'Paramount Hotels and Resorts' and it owns 50% in a India based PVR cinemas Dubai.

As both of the films were distributed, the likelihood of Paramount Pictures distributed your film is minimal as the budget for their films is over millions, whereas as we are students, our budget for our film is very limited in comparison. 
Another reason is that they mainly distribute action/adventure and the genre of our film is a mystery/horror.
