It is a superb example of British Film making and you will also be able to look at funding as it is filmed in India. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Best_Exotic_Marigold_Hotel

Researching Institutions
Develop your mind map of institutions. Who owns what? How does this aid vertical distribution?
Also, think about the vulnerability of smaller independent institutions and how they can compete with these global institutions.
Remember, you will need some comparison in your examination - think about the films Momentum have produced and how they compete with Working Titles. How might this change now E1 has purchased Alliance?
