MGM is basically a defunct rights holding company. It’s made 5 movies in the last decade, including 2 Addams Family, 2 Max (dog movies), and a GI Joe, and the Addams Family movies were really
Made by Universal. It’s also a name slapped on some other streaming app.
If I heard the name referring to a current company, I would think hotels/casinos/sportsbooks first. That said, the title could still be better.

- aquova 3y agoI don't really know where you're getting this number. By my count they've made about three dozen films this decade, including a James Bond film and Creed III.
- basch 3y agoYoure right that my list is wrong. Downside to HN not having editing and deleting, is I cant retract my misinformation. And I earned 7 votes for that nonsense. :/
