Universal Pictures (legally Universal City Studios LLC, also known as Universal Studios, and formerly named Universal Film Manufacturing Company and Universal-International Pictures Inc.) is an American film studio owned by Comcast through the NBCUniversal Film and Entertainment division of its wholly owned subsidiary NBCUniversal.
Founded in 1912 by Carl Laemmle, Mark Dintenfass, Charles O. Baumann, Adam Kessel, Pat Powers, William Swanson, David Horsley, Robert H. Cochrane, and Jules Brulatour, it is the oldest surviving film studio in the United States; the world's fifth oldest after Gaumont, Pathé, Titanus, and Nordisk Film; and the oldest member of Hollywood's "Big Five" studios in terms of the overall film market. Its studios are located in Universal City, California, and its corporate offices are located in New York City.
Universal Pictures is a member of the Motion Picture Association (MPA), and was one of the "Little Three" majors during Hollywood's golden age.
Relation with Paramount[]
They are the half-owner of United International Pictures, a distributor that is also owned by Paramount Pictures, which is, by extension, owned by Paramount.
DreamWorks Animation purchase[]
In 2016, Universal purchased DWA, gained all distribution rights to DreamWorks Animation pre-2017 films and started distribution of films released after 2018. The purchase included all of the films distributed by Paramount between 2006-2012, which meant that the streaming rights for the Paramount-distributed DWA films are maintained by Peacock instead of Paramount+.
