American Film Industry


Biggest Film Studios: (Control 90% of all film) *Largest globally by finance
  1. 20th Century Fox - News Corporation (3rd largest media company)*
  2. Warner Bros - Time Warner (2nd largest media company)*
  3. Universal Studios - Comcast and EG (2nd largest media company US)*
  4. Paramount Pictures - Viacom (4th largest media company)*
  5. Columbia Pictures - Sony Pictures (5th largest media company)*
  6. Walt Disney - The Walt Disney Company (Largest in the media company)*
Conglomerate - Group
Why does it matter who owns what?
  • Politics
  • Choice
  • Representation
  • Opinion
  • Human Right
It is partially good that the companies make the most films because they can put more money into making a good film and can give jobs to more people. They also have more resources to put into things such as more toys and merchandise. It could not be a good thing because the companies could be bias towards a persons beliefs, whether they are political or moral.  With big companies making 90% of films, smaller firms and artists will have to work a lot harder to get known and to promote their work.
