Miscellaneous Movie Musings

I saw Hancock over the weekend. Meh, not bad not great. It did however bring up a question on the production side.

Why does it seem that every movie these days is made by some new production company or companies I've never heard of and will probably never hear from again?

For example:

Hancock was made by: Blue Light, Forward Pass, GH Three, Overbrook, Relativity Media and Weed Road Pictures.

Get Smart by: Mad Chance, Mosasic media group and others...

What's up with all these companies? Some of them don't even appear to have websites. Is there some sneaky tax reason for creating a new production company for each major movie?
