Today, 90% of the international film industry is dominated or 'oligopolied' by the Big Six American conglomerates. These conglomerates are seperate and own the Big Six film companys; such as Paramount is owned by Viacom and 20th Century Fox is owned by New Corp. These film companys produce most well known films like Jackass: The movie and The Hangover, Hangover 2.
However, the British film industry is a lot smaller than the American one, mainly because films in the UK are made by independent companys like BigTalk Pictures who produced Hot Fuzz and Paul.These aren't run by conglomerates with many subsidiarys, they are small companys and thats why we dont see many films being produced by them.
Fully in your own words Steve so well done, I hope this helped you to get the ideas clear in your head :)
