	Goldwyn Pictures Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Goldwyn Pictures Corporation was an American motion picture production company founded in 1916 by Samuel Goldfish in partnership with Broadway producers Edgar and Archibald Selwyn using a combination of both last names to create the name.
		The Goldwyn Pictures Corporation proved moderately successful but it is their "Leo the Lion" trademark for which the organization is most famous.
		Samuel Goldwyn was eventually forced out by his partners who then brought in Lee Shubert, the head of The Shubert Organization that was the dominant live theatre operator in the United States.

		Such pictures were expensive to produce, requiring a full staff of songwriters, arrangers, musicians, dancers, and technical support, and mounting five or six each year ate into profits.
		By committing to more and better pictures, selling a portion of the studio to Australia's Seven Network, and installing a professional management team, Kerkorian was able to convince Wall Street that a revived MGM was worthy of a place on the stock market.
		But despite a few successful pictures and a re-built film library, it was clear that MGM could not compete in a business which required hundreds of millions in capital for even the most ordinary picture.

		A few years later, he acquired a controlling interest in the financially troubled Goldwyn Picture Corporation which at that point was controlled by theater impresario Lee Shubert.

		In addition, the acquisition brought Mayer Pictures' contracts with key directors such as Fred Niblo and John M. Stahl and up-and-coming actress, Norma Shearer.

	MOVIE STUDIO FACTS AND INFORMATION
		Universal Pictures, Columbia_Pictures and United_Artists also fell under these rubrics, although they did not own their own theaters to play only their own productions: United Artists, in fact, also did not own its studio or contract personnel, and functioned only as a financier-distributor.
		The Big Five's ownership of theaters was eventually opposed by eight independent producers, which included Samuel_Goldwyn, David_O._Selznick, Walt_Disney and Walter_Wanger, and in 1948 the U.S. government won a case against Paramount in the Supreme Court, the ruling being that this high level of power constituted a monopoly and was therefore against the law.
		With the end of "the Studios" and the continued incursion of television into the audience for film, more and more companies became simply management structures which put together artistic teams on a project-by-project basis, usually renting space from some of the surviving studios, which is still the norm today.

		By the mid 1920s the evolution of a handful of American production companies into wealthy film industry conglomerates, which owned their own studios, as well as their own distribution divisions, theaters, contracted performers and filmmaking personnel, led to the incorrect equation of "studio" with "production company" as a result of industry slang.
		Five large companies, Fox (later 20th Century Fox), Loewâ€™s Incorporated (parent company for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer), Paramount Pictures, RKO (Radio-Keith-Orpheum) and Warner Bros., came to be known as the "Big Five", the "majors" or "the Studios" in trade publications such as Variety and their management structures and practices came to be called the Studio system.
		Universal Pictures, Columbia Pictures and United Artists also fell under these rubrics, although they did not own their own theaters to play only their own productions: United Artists, in fact, also did not own its studio or contract personnel, and functioned only as a financier-distributor.
