Distribution is the process of which the distribution branch of the film industry receives films from film makers and is responsible for organising when and where the film will be shown, and where it will be sold upon its release on DVD disc.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, commonly known as MGM, is an American media company, involved primarily in the production and distribution of films and television programs. Once the largest and most glamorous of film studios, MGM was founded in 1924 when the entertainment entrepreneur Marcus Loew gained control of Metro Pictures, Goldwyn Pictures Corporation and Louis B. Mayer Pictures. Its headquarters is in Beverly Hills, California.
On November 3, 2010, MGM filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. MGM emerged from bankruptcy on December 20, 2010, at which time the executives of Spyglass Entertainment, Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum, became co-Chairmen and co-CEOs of the holding company of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
some examples of sucessful films distributed by MGM are:
Casino Royale (2006).
Red Dawn (1984).
Rocky V (1990).
The Silence Of The Lambs (1991).
