The difference between media ownership companies is that the major companies have enough money to produce the film and distribute it.  Where as smaller companies have to go to bigger companies to get money in order to be able to produce the movie they want. Most of the time the major buys the smaller companies meaning they get some of the profit.

Also the advantage big companies have is that if they have their own TV stations or radio stations they’ll be able to advertise it without having to pay but,  the disadvantage if they  flop they will lose money. On the other hand smaller companies have to pay TV stations radio and websites e.g. YouTube to show that their movie is coming out, but they cost a lot of money so most of them wouldn’t do it.
