Lionsgate was chosen to distribute the film because they distribute a wide range of genres, including crime thrillers similar to the film, and they distribute both British and American films. The film would receive a theatrical release in national and European cinemas targeting British audiences. It would also be released on DVD, VOD, and streaming platforms like Lionsgate's UltraViolet. Lionsgate effectively markets films through traditional methods like posters, radio, and TV ads as well as online methods using social media platforms and YouTube to promote to targeted audiences.
