What if Lionsgate was founded in early 20th century?

In reality, we know, that Lionsgate, the film company, founded in 1997, founded by Frank Giustra. But just imagine what if would've be like if that studio would've founded in the early 20th century. Here are the examples on what could of been:

List of changes

 * Lionsgate would've be a separate companies, like Lions Brothers Films, which would've founded in 1917 in Burbank, California, and John Gates Pictures, which would've founded in 1940 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, before 1960, where both studios merged up and form into Loins-Gates Studios (1960-1997), and Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. or Loinsgate (1997-present)
 * The company would've be each founded by Maurice (1888-1969) and Pete (1894-1992) Lions,for Lions Brothers Films, and John Gates (1919-1997), for John Gates Pictures (all made-up people), before it took over by Frank Giustra in 1997.
 * As Lions Brother Films, it gone from short films, to feature films and to television.
 * As John Gates Pictures, it gone from documentary shorts and films, and expanded into a whole film and television studio and would've be formerly a rival to Lions Brothers Films.
 * Two companies would've have their own theatrical animated short series, the same vanes of TBD.
 * Lions Bros. would've have Lions Follies (now called Follytoons) which would've debuted in 1929.
 * John Gates Pictures would've have its only one theatrical cartoon featuring its flagship characters such as Buster Beaver and Marky Moose, which would've debuted in 1950.
 * Loinsgate would've make animated movies staring in the 1960s.
