The history of the modern studio system is inextricably linked to the rise of Hollywood in the early 20th century. The "Big Five" studios (MGM, Paramount, Warner Bros., RKO, and Fox) perfected the "studio system," a vertically integrated model where they controlled production, distribution, and exhibition.
