List of Warner Bros. films (1918–1929)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 79.18.152.106 (talk) at 13:50, 19 August 2023. The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a list of films produced, co-produced, and/or distributed by Warner Bros. and also its subsidiary First National Pictures for the years 1918–1919. From 1928 to 1936, films by First National continued to be credited solely to "First National Pictures". In July 1936, stockholders of First National Pictures, Inc. (primarily Warner Bros.) voted to dissolve the corporation and no further separate First National Pictures were made. This list does not include direct-to-video releases or films from New Line Cinema prior to its merger with Warner Bros. in 2008, nor does it include third-party films or films Warner gained the rights to as a result of mergers or acquisitions.
