[edit]- The original MGM logo, as attached to 2001: A Space Odyssey
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, or MGM, is a media company, involved primarily in the production and distribution of cinema and television programs until 2005. The company was acquired by a partnership led by Sony and Comcast Corporation for $US 4.8 billion. The sale was completed on April 8, 2005.
From the end of the Silent Film Era through World War II, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer was the preeminient motion picture studio in Hollywood, with the greatest output of all of the studios: at its height, it released one feature film a week, along with many short subjects and serials. A victim of the massive restructuring of the motion picture industry during the 1950's and 60's, it was ultimately unable to cope with the loss of its theater chain (due to the Paramount decrees), and the power shift from studio bosses to independent producers and agents.
Redirect
[edit]As there is no meaningful info on this page, would anybody be against me redirecting this to its standing name, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.14.102.85 (talk • contribs) 21:01, 18 March 2006
- I personally think it should redirect to MGM (disambiguation) instead. This company isn't the only notable use of the initialism. Ranze (talk) 23:26, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
- Then just redirect to MGM disam. DA1 (talk) 23:55, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
