Conglomerates in the Film Industry

A conglomerate is a combination of multiple different companies that are all owned or ‘fall under’ a singular company. In relation to the Film Industry, a conglomerate is where an extremely large cooperation owns many other small companies that provide them services (like production of a film). A good example of this is The Walt Disney Company, the large singular company whose conglomerates are; Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, Marvel Entertainment and Lucasfilm just to name a few of them. These smaller companies produce, distribute and market films under Disney’s lead and budget, and a large majority of profits feeds back into the company and its affiliated conglomerates, practically keeping them all up and running as one entity.
