I don't think so, Grave. One user pointed to the original Films link, which is partially correct. Mr. Moritz did indeed have his own Production Company which carried his name...once upon a time. Then he moved over and founded Original Films (or was one of the founders). As I recall Original was founded right around the same time as The Fast and The Furious came out, my suspicion is that for reasons unknown to us, Original Films could not be used because they did not exist during production, but Moritz Productions was not appropriate because they did not exist at the time of release, that is pure speculation as to trying to come up with a rationale, and obviously the only one who might know for sure is Mr. Moritz himself.

Here's my two (euro)cents:

This thread was started about a credit "Universal Pictures presents A Neal H. Moritz Production".

What I see here is a sentence in English language. It says that Universal Pictures is presenting something. Now what this something is? It presents us a (movie) production (by) Neal H. Moritz. Even if there were an actual production company named "Neal H. Moritz Production", this is not a company credit for it. Or otherwise the meaning of the sentence is that Universal Pictures presents the production company, not the actual production (= movie). I see no sense in that.

All in all: you can draw only one company credit from the sentence "Universal Pictures presents A Neal H. Moritz Production".
