Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A major film studio is a movie production and distribution company that releases a substantial number of films annually and consistently commands a significant share of box-office revenues in a given market. In the North American, Western, and global markets, the major film studios, often simply known as the majors, are commonly regarded as the six diversified media conglomerates whose various movie production and distribution subsidiaries command approximately 90 percent of the U. S. and Canadian box office. The term may also be applied more specifically to the primary movie business subsidiary of each respective conglomerate. The "Big Six" majors, whose movie operations are based in or around Hollywood, are all centered in film studios active during Hollywood's Golden Age of the 1930s and 1940s. In three cases-20th Century Fox, Warner Bros., and Paramount-the studios were one of the "Big Five" majors during that era as well. In two cases-Columbia and Universal-the studios were also considered majors, but in the next tier down, part of the "Little Three."
