Major studios

Major studios are large companies that produce, distribute, and promote movies on a wide scale. They have significant resources, extensive film libraries, and established brands, enabling them to finance big-budget projects and widely release films globally. Examples include Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, and Paramount. These studios often operate vertically, handling all aspects of filmmaking from development to marketing, and they shape industry trends with their influential productions. Their size and reach give them a major influence on the film industry and popular culture.
