Universal Studios is one of the oldest major Hollywood studios, but not the oldest.
- Nestor Film Company (1911) is considered the first film studio in Hollywood.
- Paramount Pictures (1912) was founded as the Famous Players Film Company, around the same time as Universal Studios.
- Warner Bros. (1907) was founded by four brothers, but it didn't become a major studio until the 1920s.
