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?

Also consider that sometimes yes, they do need help making the film.
One example is with computer graphics (CG). There are a bunch of great CG companies out there, all of which can make really great visuals for a lot of different things. But one particular area that’s super difficult to make look realistic is big, complicated water simulations.
There’s one studio in particular that’s made quite a name for itself as being the best at these simulations, I think perhaps it was WETA digital. At this point they have a great reputation, a lot of experienced staff, and even special in-house software specifically for this job that other companies can’t access, so if a movie or show demands the absolute best water effects, they may ask this other company to do it even if the ‘main’ effects studio is great at a lot of other things.
