The Big Ten refers to the ten major Hollywood movie studios:

• 20th Century Fox
• DreamWorks
• MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer)
• Miramax/Dimension Films
• New Line Cinema
• Paramount Pictures
• Sony Pictures Studios
• Universal Studios
• Walt Disney Pictures
• Warner Bros.

NOTE: As Time Warner owns both New Line Cinema and Warner Bros., Disney owns both Walt Disney Pictures and Miramax/Dimension Films, and Sony owns both Sony Pictures Studios and MGM, these ten movie studios are controlled by six corporations, known as the Big Six.

These ten movie studios are contrasted with other smaller movie studios, which are known as independent studios (indies).
