Geez..How many studios produced this movie???
I just picked up the remake of "Yours, Mine and Ours" on dvd. And looking at the credits reminded me when I saw the movie in the theater. Just how studios did this movie need to be released??? I have heard of movies that were very expensive getting a second studio involved. But, this was ridiculous.
Paramount
MGM
Columbia
Nickelodeon
Sony
And if you look on www.imdb.com you can see how each studio gets a different country to have distribution rights.
Bring back John Doe! Or at least resolve the cliff-hanger with a 2hr movie or as an extra on a dvd release.

That's just branding; Viacom owns both Paramount and Nickelodeon and Sony owns Columbia and MGM.
Still, that's nothing. Watch a European film sometime; the film will be producedby, presented by, in association with, and with the assistance of roughly a dozen companies or government agencies. I've seen a couple where I'm just astounded that they ALL signed off on something really just astonishingly abhorrant. Other times, I'll think that instead of these companies financing 8% of a dozen films, maybe they should each fully finance one, although this is probably better in terms of risk.

I wonder if those European films are simply paying into a joint venture fund, which is then administered by those running the fund, so that in reality the producers don't really answer to suits from a dozen studios, just the execs running the joint venture fund? But obviously from the credits point of view, all the JV partners would be credited individually.

i always wondered what this was about. i dont know how you guys can remember what movie is owned by which studio, especially with the joint ventures. it seems like many films i watch, there are at least 2 or 3 different "studios" involved, if that's the correct word to use.

Yeah, Dear Wendy, from Danish director Thomas Vinterberg, is plastered with logos for 14 different production companies.

Watched it last night and thought it was a tad over the top. 'Okay, here we go...wait, another studio logo...and another...again...AND STILL MORE?!'
And you believe, at heart, everyone's a killer...

Don't forge the titles talking about mooses and the loveli lakes...
Seriously though I noticed that on Yours, Mine and Ours. Thought it was funny that it took 5 studios to get the film made. I think I remember Titanic being the first film I remember stating it was made by several film companies. Funny and yet annoying, they might as well make a short movie just for the company logos...

Actually I think it started with the Fox/Warner coproduction "The Towering Inferno," in 1974.
How long before we see a movie co-produced by EVERY major studio in Hollywood?

I remember watching the opening credits to Master and Commander wondering why FOX, Universal and then Miramax decided they all had to come together for this one movie.
