A second studio was added to the original in 1923.[1] This was located less than a kilometre away, and together the two served as a major filmmaking hub.[2] After the Second World War the studio was merged into the Franstudio network in 1947 along with other major Paris studios including the Saint-Maurice Studios and Francoeur Studios.[citation needed]
In the early 1930s, the American company Paramount Pictures took over the studios and made French-language versions of their hit films. In total, films were made in fourteen different languages as Joinville became a hub of such multi-language versions.[3] While many were remakes of English-language hits, some were original stories. This practice declined as dubbing became more commonplace.[4]
