Paramount Pictures
A name inseparably linked to the history of cinema: Paramount Pictures. Founded in 1912, this studio has an impressive success story behind it. With iconic films like "The Godfather," "Forrest Gump," or the "Star Trek" series, Paramount has proven its commitment to high-quality entertainment. As one of the oldest surviving film studios, Paramount can look back on a rich tradition and a multitude of award-winning films.
Warner Bros. Entertainment
Warner Bros., founded in 1923, is a name synonymous with quality and innovation. With an impressive portfolio of film series such as "Harry Potter," "Matrix," and "The Lord of the Rings," Warner Bros. has secured a firm place in the hearts of film fans around the world. The studio also has a strong presence in television and is responsible for some of the most beloved series, including "Friends" and "Game of Thrones."
20th Century Studios (ehemals 20th Century Fox)
Originally known as 20th Century Fox, the studio later rebranded as 20th Century Studios. Since its inception in 1935, this studio has produced a series of groundbreaking films, including the "Star Wars," "Avatar," and "X-Men" series. With a focus on major blockbusters and artistically challenging films, 20th Century Studios has made a lasting impression on film history.
These three studios (Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros., and 20th Century Studios) still exist today as major studios. MGM also still exists as an independent studio but has lost significance.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM)
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, or MGM for short, is another giant in the world of film. Since its founding in 1924, MGM has produced some of the most memorable films in cinema history. From timeless classics like "Ben-Hur" and "The Wizard of Oz" to modern blockbusters like the "James Bond" series starting in 1981 and "The Hobbit," MGM has created a wide spectrum of films that have delighted generations of audiences.
RKO Pictures
RKO Pictures (Radio-Keith-Orpheum), founded in 1928, was once a major player in the golden era of Hollywood. With films like "King Kong" and "Citizen Kane," RKO shaped the film industry and set standards for innovation and creativity. Although the studio no longer exists, its legacy persists in the form of its groundbreaking films and its influence on the industry.
