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]
