The MPAA administers the voluntary [[Motion Picture Association of America film rating system|film rating system]]. [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer|MGM]] was an MPAA member until 2005, shortly after Sony Pictures Entertainment's failed attempt to buy that studio; it ended in a partly Sony-funded acquisition. [[Lions Gate]] also joined the film rating system, but was not in the big six. Neither is [[The Weinstein Company]].
