It's been agreed that '20th Century Fox' should be submitted as 'Twentieth Century Fox' even if its stated on the DVD or cover as '20th Century Fox'.

Has there been an agreement on, or if not could there be, a common name for Film4. Currently it seems to vary between Film Four, FilmFour, Film 4 and Film4. I believe the latter to be correct as it is stated on their own website in this way.

It's worth noting that Film4 was called Channel Four Films until a few years ago.

What is "correct" for us is what's on the film, not a website. What does the movie credits typically say? I'm refering to the text part of the credits, not the company logotype.

I doubt we'll see a "common name" established though because, like your example shows, these names tend to change every couple of years when the company changes owners or otherwise.

Thankfully, for me at least, I don't ever search by studio so the mis-interpetaion of Fox and the 5 different Lions Gate's don't bug me, not nearly as much as 99% of every freaking sound person having at least 3 name variations!

This also goes for names evolving over the years, like New Line Home Video to New Line Home Entertainment, or Anchor Bay Entertainment to AB Home Ent.

Opps, I see Pasta covered this, that's what I get for replyinhg before reading replies.
