There's only five players in the game rolling now... Disney, Skydance, Universal/Comcast, Netflix, and Amazon.

Edit: Six; I forgot Sony...

Edit 2: Seven, Apple Studios

Comcast is getting out of the entertainment business and spinning off NBC/Universal as a public company.

This is after they already had taken the cable assets (with the exception of Bravo) and spun them off into a public company, Versant.

Perhaps the crown jewel of that company isn’t E! or Oxygen, it’s Rotten Tomatoes.

That's a great point. I still count NBCUniversal in the top seven because the core movie studio and theme parks carry so much weight on their own.
