History [ edit ] It was inaugurated in 1945 after a 1943 agreement between RKO and Emilio Azcárraga Vidaurreta (of Televisa). ♨️ In 1950, it was acquired by the government of Mexico and merged with Estudios y Laboratorios Azteca to form Estudios ♨️ Churubusco Azteca. Since 1958 it has been controlled by the government of Mexico. Of the four motion picture studios during ♨️ the golden age of Mexican cinema—the others were Estudios America, Estudios San Angel and Estudios Tepeyac—it and Televisa San Angel ♨️ (the former Estudios San Angel) are still in operation. It is estimated that 95% of the films produced in Mexico since ♨️ 2000 have used many of the services the studio provides. Among the films shot at the Estudios Churubusco were Honey, ♨️ I Shrunk the Kids (1989), Amores perros (2000), which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, ♨️ and Frida (2002). In 2024, Estudios Churubusco celebrated its 72nd anniversary by opening the facility to the public for the first ♨️ time so they could learn more about the studios and its many film achievements.[1] Selected films [ edit ] |
