Film production and co-production

The big 6:

- Warner
- 20th Century Fox
- Paramount
- Universal
- Sony
- Disney


Video-on-demand:

Nowadays, companies can also exhibit their films via online video-on-demand (VoD) services such as Netflix and Youtube.
Disney owns the Disney Channel (TV) but also Disney Life, a VoD allowing it to compete with the likes of Netflix.


Joint Ventures:

Not all films have this luxury, though, so independent companies (i.e. those free from the control of a conglomerate) may undertake a joint venture - this is when one media company works for another on a project mutually beneficial for both parties.

Both 'Street Dance 3D' and 'The Worlds End' are examples of joint venture projects.
