List of Monogram Pictures and Allied Artists Pictures films
Wikimedia list article
This is a list of feature films originally released and/or distributed by Monogram Pictures and Allied Artists Pictures Corporation. Monogram/Allied Artists' post-August 1946 library is currently owned by Warner Bros. (via Lorimar Motion Pictures), while 187 pre-August 1946 Monogram films are owned by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (via United Artists) and select post-1938 Monogram films are owned by Paramount Pictures (via Melange Pictures).
Monogram was established in 1931, and concentrated on low-budget releases. In 1935, it was merged into the conglomerate formed by Herbert Yates as Republic Pictures, but in 1937, it was re-established as an independent studio. In 1947, a separate subsidiary, Allied Artists, was established with the intention of releasing some higher-budget films than traditionally associated with the company. By 1953, the Monogram brand was dropped completely and Allied Artists continued until 1978, in its later years largely concentrating on the distribution of films produced by other companies, often in Europe.

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q17098610. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1946, 1938, 1931 and 1935.
