Movies and Entertainment

This group collects Communication Services members whose core business is producing or distributing film, television programming, recorded music or other entertainment content, plus a handful of sports and entertainment holding companies placed here as the closest fit for their media-adjacent assets: film studios and production companies, film distributors across every era from silent-era newsreels to today's streaming-era independents, home video publishers, record labels, and companies whose description explicitly identifies them as an entertainment conglomerate. It is the largest of the nine groups by a wide margin, reflecting the very large real-world population of small and often historical film distribution companies included in this member list, so it carries its own region and, within the United States, its own founding-era breakdown below.
