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 Lionsgate Films. In 2005, The Asylum released the film ''H. G. Wells' War of the Worlds'' the day before Steven Spielberg film ''War of the Worlds''. Blockbuster ordered 100,000 copies, which inspired The Asylum to focus on mockbusters. This led to a partnership with the television channel Syfy, and with the rise of video on demand (VOD) services in the early 2010s, partnerships with Pluto TV and Tubi. The Asylum's greatest success came in 2013 with the film ''Sharknado'', which is about a waterspout that lifts sharks out of the ocean and drops them over Los Angeles. The over-the-top premise went viral, and led to the creation of the ''Sharknado'' franchise. In response to the popularity of ''Sharknado'', Syfy commissioned The Asylum to produce a zombie television series called ''Z Nation'', which ran for five seasons. Provided by Wikipedia
