Why are there 3 or 4 studios/production companies listed at the beginning of movies? After a major studio there will be several others (ABC Films, XYZ Pictures). Do the major studies need “help” making movies?

The studios don’t necessarily “need help” but there are a lot of entities involved in bringing a film to the screen. Most of these entities want credit for the work they’re doing. This gets into arcane negotiations between who actually gets one of those preroll cards, but usually they are simply the card for the studio, distributor, and any production/financing companies (including that of major creatives involved with it like the director). “A24 presents a Daniels film” could mean, for example, the distributor A24 released a film directed by the Daniels.
