Read it:

Boston, Hollywood and Atlanta, 1919 to 2024. A motion picture is a company that is founded, staffed, financed and then dissolved on the day it is delivered, and almost everyone who makes one is renting the place where it happens. Four men refused to rent. Joseph P. Kennedy bought a small studio on Gower Street in 1926 and left the business three years later with a fortune and no pictures anybody remembers. Howard Hughes bought RKO in 1948, became the only man ever to own a major American studio outright, and emptied it. Brian Grazer built a company that never owned a lot and outlasted almost everyone who did. Tyler Perry bought a decommissioned Army post and put his own name on the gate. Covers Joseph P. Kennedy, Howard Hughes, Brian Grazer, Tyler Perry, Film Booking Offices of America, RKO Pictures, and Imagine Entertainment.
