Now Showing only lists films that are produced outside of the studio system (including their subsidiaries).

A film can be produced independently, and distributed by a major studio. We include these films if the film was bought by the studio after it’s premiere date.

We define the studio system as the eight class “A” members of the AMPTP (Alliance of Motion Picture + TV Producers).

This includes the major studios: Paramount Pictures, Sony, Universal Studios, Walt Disney Pictures and Warner Bros. as well as the major streamers: Amazon, Apple, and Netflix.

It also includes all of their subsidiaries or their parent company’s subsidiaries.

Subsidiaries are businesses partially or entirely owned and controlled by a parent company.

This partial list shows what film related businesses the parent company (in parenthesis) owns. We do not list films produced by these companies.
