A Look at the Film Studios That Are the Major Players in the Movie Business

film studios

A major film studio is an international multi-million dollar entertainment business, primarily focused on the creation of motion pictures, which consists of independent films or big budget blockbusters. In the United States, the major film studios such as Disney, Pixar, Sony, and Disney release their movies through the studios. The Walt Disney Company, which includes the online Disney websites and EPCOT (Experimental Prototype Community for Research of Nanotechnology and Environmental Science) is an international multimedia corporation, primarily focused on the motion pictures production and distribution business. Netflix, the home of the television series ‘Netflix’ and the streaming movie ‘Hulk’ is a multi-media company, mainly focused on home viewing and online subscription.

 

The United States film industry, by far, is the largest in the world, employing more than 18 million people and contributing significantly to the U.S. gross domestic product. The film studios also play a huge role in contributing to the infrastructure of American society because many of them employ hundreds of thousands of people. These employees make movies, produce television series, and edit videos for advertising and distribution purposes.

 

Film schools are also offered at colleges and universities, to teach students about video production. The main goal of film schools is to prepare students to become film producers and editors. After graduation, students can pursue careers as video production assistants, sound designers, computer video technicians, video game testers, animation specialists, or even production assistants. Many of the top film studios and production houses in the world hire graduates from these film schools.

 

Netflix is one of the largest online services in the world, with millions of members. The company was started in 2021 by two guys who were living in California: Netflix co-founders Reed Corderer and John Scarlett, and founded by partner Dustin Moskovitz. In less than three years, Netflix has grown significantly and has since become one of the biggest online destination for buying and selling movies and television shows. Netflix uses digital video disks called Blu-Ray for storing movies and television programs, instead of traditional film and TV show DVDs.

 

Marvel, the popular comic book and superhero publishing house, has several major movie studios that it operates in different countries around the world. Marvel’s slate of movies consists of blockbuster hits like Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, and The Spiderman films. In addition to its film studios, Marvel produces television series such as the Marvel series The Avengers, and the popular animated cartoon Iron Man. Netflix and Marvel Entertainment also work together on a joint venture called the Marvel Digital Video publishing Rights licensing program, which allows Marvel Studios to license out the intellectual property associated with some of its most popular characters. Netflix is one of the companies that uses this joint venture model frequently.

 

Disney, one of the most successful movie studio producing companies in the United States, currently has four major production studios that it operates in the country. At the current time, there are plans to release five films in the next year, including Cars 3, The Lone Ranger, The Avatar: Legend of Tarzan, and The Kingsman: The Secret Service. There are also rumors that Disney may begin filming the Fantastic Four reboot in the future.

 

Sony Pictures Network is currently operating in the United States and Canada through the acquisition of streaming media company Hulu. Like Disney, a large portion of Sony’s business is based upon its motion pictures division, and it is responsible for the majority of the studio’s output, outside of the video library available to customers at the studio’s websites. Hulu is the streamer of movies and television shows from major producers such as Disney and Universal, and it is also responsible for the video on demand services that allow users of Apple devices to stream full seasons of television programming, or to simply watch a film on their own through their computers. Hulu can be used by individuals that do not have broadband Internet access, or by people who have purchased a full season of a film that they wish to view over the internet. The company is currently focusing on expanding its film production arm and creating more digital content for its website.

 

While Disney has created an impressive video game industry, producing numerous popular games, it is unknown whether or not their motion picture division will experience growth in this area or if the success of The Chronicles of Riddick will boost ticket sales for the company’s other major projects. It is also uncertain whether or not the video game industry will suffer a major downturn or even if there will be any at all. Some observers feel that the success of The Chronicles of Riddick will overshadow any concerns that the future of the video game industry may have. If the film studio’s other projects go well, the future for both franchises looks strong. Whether or not they will attract major players of the film industry to their respective theaters remains to be seen, but given the financial success of The Chronicles of Riddick, there are a great deal of chances that they will succeed.
