How does a Movie Distribution Company like 20th Century Fox, Paramount, or Universal start up? How would they distribute there first movie with no money from any other movies…do they borrow it? I’ve wanted to start a movie distribution company like one of these big ones and be able to compete with them…how would I start up with so little money? Producing a movie costs usually about 0 Million, where would a company get that kinda money when they first start out, to distribute that movie?

These companies have been around since the 1920s, and they don’t just distribute movies, they make the movies. They are movie studios, though I don’t know how much actual real estate and physical works they own anymore…they used to own huge "lots" where the movies were made.
As far as starting your own company…do you really think that you can compete with a company like FOX, which is now owned by ruthless billionaire Rupert Murdoch? He’d have you murdered before he’d compete with you.
