Miscellaneous Movie Musings

I imagine most of them are simply investment production companies or owned access to some important piece of the film's package. One of the ways the major studios hedge there bets is to get other people to pay for making them and the studios are involved more as distributors than creators. And to get people involved you give producer credits.

Forward Pass is Michael Mann's production company; there contribution might actually have involved production work.
I believe Relatively Media is just a financing production company so there contribution would be money.
Overbrook is Will Smith's production company; their contribution was Will Smith.
Weed Road Pictures is Akiva Goldsman's production company.

Don't know about the others.
