distribution company based in <a href="/wiki/Burbank,_California" title="Burbank, California">Burbank, California</a>. The company is known for producing low-budget, <a href="/wiki/Direct-to-video" title="Direct-to-video">direct-to-video</a> films, in particular <a href="/wiki/Mockbuster" title="Mockbuster">mockbusters</a>, which capitalize on the popularity of major studio films with similar titles and premises. The Asylum's business model revolves around producing as many low-budget films as quickly as possible, which earn around $150,000 to $250,000 in profit. Since the company produces dozens of films every year, this model generates millions of dollars, and the company claims to have never lost money on a film. The Asylum spends around 4-6 months making a film, and since the company is not affiliated with any industry <a href="/wiki/Guild" title="Guild">guilds</a> other than <a href="/wiki/SAG-AFTRA" title="SAG-AFTRA">SAG-AFTRA</a>, this means their employees will sometimes work up to 22 hours a day. <sup id="cite_ref-Guardian_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Guardian-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Initially founded as a distribution company for low-budget drama films, The Asylum switched to in-house productions in the mid-2000s due to competition from larger studios like <a href="/wiki/Lionsgate_Films" title="Lionsgate Films">Lionsgate Films</a>. In 2005, The Asylum released the film <i><a href="/wiki/H._G._Wells%27_War_of_the_Worlds_(The_Asylum_film)" title="H. G. Wells' War of the Worlds (The Asylum film)">H. G. Wells' War of the Worlds</a></i> the day before <a href="/wiki/Steven_Spielberg" title="Steven Spielberg">Steven Spielberg</a> film <i><a href="/wiki/War_of_the_Worlds_(2005_film)" title="War of the Worlds (2005 film)">War of the Worlds</a></i>. <a href="/wiki/Blockbuster_(retailer)" title="Blockbuster (retailer)">Blockbuster</a> ordered 100,000 copies, which inspired The Asylum to focus on mockbusters. This led to a partnership with the television channel <a href="/wiki/Syfy" title="Syfy">Syfy</a>, and with the rise of <a href="/wiki/Video_on_demand" title="Video on demand">video on demand</a> (VOD) services in the early 2010s, partnerships with <a href="/wiki/Pluto_TV" title="Pluto TV">Pluto TV</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tubi" title="Tubi">Tubi</a>.
