Movies and Entertainment Companies in the United States

This second-level group collects the United States members of the Movies and Entertainment group, the single largest regional share of that group by a wide margin: major studio divisions and labels such as Paramount, Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox, Universal and Disney's many home video and specialty arms, alongside a very large population of small and often defunct independent film distributors, production companies and home video publishers. At 165 members it is itself over this subcategory's 100-member threshold, so it carries its own founding-era breakdown below.
