    Question:  What is the name of a major film studio (production and film distribution) that has majority African-American/black ownership.  

    Wikipedia defines major film studio is a production and film distributor  that releases a substantial number of films annually and consistently commands a significant share of box office  revenue in a given market.

      Me neither. But I hope to find evidence of one. I read on blog, code black entertainment might be one.  Tyler Perry Studios would be a contender but it's reported he has a separate distributor.

      I recall some very prominent actor, I wanna say Don Cheadle, said a Black person can not green light a movie, but I don't know enough about the industry to know if this is true or not...

      So far from what I've learned - he's right.  Without significant distribution it's unlikely that a movie will appear in the theaters..  Just like the internet is facebook and google; major theaters that have a lock on screens  are AMC, Cinemark ,Regal Entertainment  - and I've heard/read these chains don't take a chance on anything that's not a guaranteed blockbuster.  They want to feel seats every weekend.
