Formative Assessment â€

During the "golden age" of Hollywood, The Big Eight referred to the eight major Hollywood movie studios. Since then, the number of major studios has fluctuated; with bankruptcies (RKO Radio Pictures), mergers (United Artists), downsizing (MGM) and the promotion of what was previously a minor studio (The Walt Disney Company), as of 2018, there is currently a Big Six.

Big Eight is sometimes used to refer to the eight corporations that own the Big Ten, the ten major Hollywood movie studios.
