Slumdog Millionaire - Exhibition

The Exhibition of Slumdog Millionaire worked like it wasn't to be shown in all of the cinemas both in UK and USA. This is due to the reasoning that Danny Boyle had the intentions of the film being shown in Art House Cinema. This had then soon after changed once the excitement of 'Slumdog Millionaire' hitting UK and the US. It had then been first shown at the Telluride Film Festival on August 30th of 2008 plus other events, where it had received positive feedback from those who viewed it. When the film had actually been released on the 9th of January 2009 in the UK it was supposed to be shown in an Art House Cinema to successful cinema's such as Vue and Odean. It was then released in the US on the 23rd of that month as well.

Slumdog Millionaire - Distribution

The Distribution companies were different as it depended on what region/country they were in. For example in the USA it was Fox Searchlight Pictures but in the UK it would be different. This was due to the companies being specified to the countries that they were located at.

Slumdog Millionaire - Production


The screenwriter was known as Simon Beaufoy who had written Slumdog Millionaire which was based on Boeke’s prize winning and common writer’s prize which was a nominated novel by Vikas Swarup. But whilst believing improvements were required for it they had taken some trips and was one to India and whilst being there they had gone and interviewed kids from the slums, being impressed with their outcomes to things and the positiveness. His aim was to get across that slums aren't just full of negativity and some of the things he picked up on were used. For example how when parents pass together in a slum some are like family.
In the Summer of 2006, British companies Celador Films and Film4 Production invited director Danny Boyle to read and review Slumdog Millionaire. But he was unsure as he wasn't satisfied and interested in making “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” This was produced by Celador, but then he had found out that Beaufoy wrote it. Boyle was impressed by how Beaufoy had merged multiple storylines together from Swarup’s book to just one narrative, and then decided to commit to the project.
The film cost $15 million; So Celador required a U.S distributor to share costs.
