The MGM history

Although MGM was found original in 1915 because the pictures of the triangle located in the city of Culver that was 7 miles of of the south to the west of Hollywood. Thomas Ince, D.W. Griffith and Mack then Sennett owned the study. Samuel then Goldwyn acquired the study in 1918 and the name was changed to the studies of Goldwyn. It is then when it secured his Leo the standard of the lion. It was combined with the pictures of the meter and the pictures of Mayer in 1924 and the study were on become the greatest study of the history of Hollywood by the meter well-known Goldwyn Mayer (MGM) the 16 of April of 1924. The inauguration happened with a magnificent ceremony attended the previous president president Calvin Coolidge and the famous executant Rogers. This one is how the legendary studies of MGM were born.

MGM became the power plant of the cinema rather soon and was famous for their prodigal systems, films with style and incomparable arsenal of film actors in their productions. It was a dream so that many new agents work for MGM. Within a year of his formation MGM it assumed the control universal studies as the greatest producer of films in 1925 and conserved this distinction for the fourth following one of the century. The study also inherited the quiet film classic Horseradish tree that was under production when the study was formed. The film was the more expensive quiet film never done with the production cost of on $5 million. The film was also a blow of the overproduction.

The study was city in itself that had its own departments of the police, the fire, the telegraph and the post. A city had everything must to be able to throw a complete film within the study without never going to diverse places. With the coming of films spoken in the end of the Twenties the best one attracted study of the talent of that was with well-known names has taste of Clark Gable, Jean Harlow, Montgomery Robert, Myrna Loy, Jeanette MacDonald, the eddy of Nelson, Frank Sinatra, Fred Astaire, Jimmy Stewart, Elizabeth Taylor etc. that ignites the list.

During years maximum MGM a year beat so much then fifty films and it has so much as five thousand employees. The study was boasted once there are more stars in MGM than the sky. The study acquired more a building for the administration in 1938, that was named after Irving Thalberg that was the head of the production. Then Louis B. Mayer assumed the control the rein until 1951 in which he lost energy to Gilds Schary. The time sea bream of the study was of its beginning to World War II during which it gave to memorable films like “the Wizard Of Oz”, to “gone with the wind”, to “the adventures of Tarzan”, to “the series of Thinman” and to many comedies of the brothers of Marx. “Gone with the wind” it continues being the highest film of the gain until date if you fit so that there are inflation. The MGM films created many more files with Horseradish tree done in 1959 that packed 11 Oscars that was a file until recently time when he was even by the “mammoth one” and “the gentleman of the ring: The return of the king”.

The era of MGM gold finished after World War II when it got to be expensive to produce the great number of films and when the attention of the spectators amused towards the television. The years 50 and years 60 considered that one of the worse periods of the history of the study with the manufacture of the company loses by the first time. In order to compensate these it loses and to obtain in the market of the television they slowly sold the rights of his “of the film the Wizard Of Oz” to the CBS that then made much part later of the money. But during the tried company to even leave the financial agitation that sank deeply every year more far. The study was sold in last instance to Edgardo Bronfman, senior., a Canadian investor. When he could not also handle the study he sold to the millionaire Kirk Kerkorian of Nevada that more was interested in him like characteristic of the real estate properties that a study. It sold the extensive collection of the supports, the furniture and the objects of memory of the study; the portion was used for an enormous project of the real estate properties.

The company almost stopped producing of films in the years 70 and years 80. The company acquired to artists united in 1981 and in Ted to 1986 it bought it Turner. It changed again to many owners in years 90. In 2004 there was a race of the cat to buy MGM with Turner, great Sony and many other companies making a supply to acquire it. But the highest bidder demonstrated to be Sony with the aid of other companies as Comcast and the group of Roofing tiles of the bankers of the risk capital and the pacific partners of the fairness of Providence.

MGM ventured in the distribution of theater in 2006 that sent on fourteen films in the year. The study also was reconstructed and is again behind in business and the safekeeping with the modern day demands announcing in 2007 that all the films of MGM can be transferred through iTunes of Apple. With the molding itself of the company to the needs of the digital world we only hoped that the company recovers its lost reputation again.
