Warner Bros.

warner bros. is one of the world's largest producers of film and television entertainment.The corporate name honors the four founding Warner brothers (born Wanskolaser), Harry (born Hirsz), Albert (born Aaron), Sam (Szmul) and Jack (born Itzhak), Jews who emigrated from Poland to Ontario, Canada. The three elder brothers began in the exhibition business, having acquired a projector with which they showed films in the mining towns of Pennsylvania and Ohio. Warner Bros. was a pioneer of films with synchronized sound this gave them the edge over there rivals. In 1936, Avery directing a string of cartoons, starring Porky Pig, which established the character as the studio's first bona fide star. In addition to Porky Pig, Warner Bros. cartoon characters Daffy Duck (who debuted in the 1937 short Porky's Duck Hunt) and Bugs Bunny (who debuted in the 1940 short A Wild Hare) also achieved star power. By 1942, the Schlesinger studio had surpassed Walt Disney Studios as the most successful producer of animated shorts in the United States. In the late 1990s, Warner obtained rights to the Harry Potter novels. At the time of release, the five films currently released became the highest grossing film series of all time when not adjusted for inflation, with USA$4.48 billion in worldwide receipts, but this has since been overtaken. The series consists of five motion pictures with the latest instalment, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, released in cinemas in the United Kingdom and Ireland on 12 July 2007, and in Canada, Asia, Australia and the United States on 11 July 2007. In the United States, the revenue from the midnight opening was $12 million and first day revenues overtook Spider-Man 2's record ($40.4 million) for the highest Thursday opening at $44.2 million.
I think Warner bros. would be a good production company to film our thriller because they have the experience of 100 years or so of filming and building up a impressive portfolio.
