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 smaller companies are often the ones directly involved in making it and they then solicit additional financial backing from a larger studio. Sometimes the biggest company didn’t even make it at all but just bought the completed film as the distributor, providing a quick payout for the smaller companies that fronted the money to make the film.
