Goldwyn Pictures
If you like this company, let us know!
Foundation date 1 january 1917

Goldwyn Pictures Corporation was an American motion picture production company that operated from 1916 to 1924 when it was merged with two other production companies to form the major studio, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

The studio proved moderately successful, but became most famous due to the Leo the Lion trademark. Although Metro was the nominal survivor, the merged studio inherited Goldwyn's old facility in Culver City, California where it would remain until 1986. The merged studio also retained Goldwyn's Leo the Lion logo, which has become perhaps the most famous movie studio logo in the world.

Lee Shubert of Shubert Theater was an investor in the company.
