Film Production Company - Hammer

The "Hammer" film company is a company, which is specialised on the horror and sci-fi genre. It was active between the 1930s and the 1970s. In 2007 it got refunded. The biggest successes are the Dracula films with Christopher Lee and The Woman In Black with Daniel Radcliffe.

 The Woman In Black
The movie The Woman In Black was the biggest Box Office success in "Hammer-"history. It went to 3267 screens in America and the UK. By a budget of $17,000,000 it made £19,829,610 in the UK and  $54,322,273 in the USA. As of June 2012, it has made $127,730,736 worldwide.

The main companies, who contributed the movie are "Cross Creek Pictures", "Hammer Film Productions" and "Alliance Films".
"Cross Creek Pictures" is a quiet new American film company, which participated in productions like Black Swan and Rush.
"Alliance Films" is a big Canadian film company, which was involved in productions like Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers and Mr.Brooks.

The Star of the movie is Daniel Radcliffe, well known as Harry Potter in the Harry Potter films. The Director of the movie, James Watkins, just directed one other movie, Eden Lake, in which he worked together with stars like Michael Fassbender and Kelly Reilly.
He hasn't worked with one of the companies before.

The Woman In Black is a Horror-film and mainly made for all the Harry Potter fans. They tried everything to make the movie watchable in cinemas for twelve years old and. It also is made for fans of the book and the play as well as fans of the classic horror genre. The movie was also released in Germany and Spain. 

I've learnt from this that films that I think are maybe British are actually Co-productions with other international companies and that British films rely on additional investments to be made.
