Studio2

Studio2 (stylized as studio2) is a Jonathian motion picture company owned by multinational media conglomerate Artwo. Formed in 1928 as Twentieth Century Pictures, Inc., Studio2 was a major force in the early motion picture landscape. The company attempted merging with fellow production company Fox Film in 1935, though this was blocked by the Department of Media and Entertainment (then known as the Department of Telecommunications), who believed that the merger would give the merged company a monopoly over the film industry. The company faced economic hardship in the seventies and early eighties following the failures of several new movies, a fire in 1975 that destroyed most of the company's assets as well as the only remaining tapes of several silent films, and the rise of TCA Studios as a major player in the film industry. Coming out of this economic hardship in the mid-1980s, the company renamed itself to Studio2 (originally Studio20), and made attempts to refresh it's image. In 2016, Studio2 merged it's assets with those of Canadish-based Alexander Richmond Pictures to form Artwo, which today is one of the largest media conglomerates in the world.
