Rex Motion Picture Company was an early film production company in the United States.
History
After Edwin S. Porter's short-lived Defender Film Company failed, The Rex Motion Picture Company was established by Edwin S. Porter, Joseph Engel, and William Swanson.[1] Rex, based at 573–579 11th Avenue, New York City.[2] produced dozens of films from 1910 into 1917.[3] It adopted a crown emblem.[citation needed]
Lois Weber established herself in the film industry at Rex.
Rex acquired Gem Motion Picture Company film properties and released them in 1912 under its own banner and later Universal's.[citation needed] Rex was one of the studios that combined to form Universal Pictures under Carl Laemmle's leadership.[citation needed]
