Existing Filming Production Company Research

To add to my research, I decided to research existing production company
that have produced thrillers.

New line cinema

It was established in 1967 by the then 27-year-old Robert Shaye as a film distribution company, supplying foreign and art films for college campuses in the United States.
Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street was produced and released by New Line in 1984. The franchise was New Line's first commercially successful series after a devastating financial slump. This low-budget flick had a production cost of $1.8M and grossed over $25.5M at the US box office.
Some thrillers they have produced:
Stunts; an action thriller about murders of a number of stuntmen in Hollywood. The film was directed by Mark Lester and released in 1977.
Nightmare on Elm Street 1&2
The 1992 film, Alone in the Dark
Blind Date which is also known as deadly seduction produced in 1984


Merger with Warner Bros.

In 2008, New Line Cinema was merged with Warner Bros, its parent company. This merger was blamed for the disappointment of 2007 film, The Golden Compass, in which New Line spent more than $200 million on the promotion of the film, yet only grossed $70 million in the US market.
