"This is a proud and exciting moment for our company, which celebrates the studio‘s rich history and cultural impact," Meyer wrote.

"Throughout Universal‘s hundred years, we‘ve created films that have touched the hearts of millions, and fostered our culture‘s love affair with cinema. Some films have been more successful than others, but all of them have a place in our history.

The strength of Universal, as with any company, is the talent of its team. We‘re fortunate to have an incredible group of individuals as well as gifted filmmakers who are at the heart of this studio," he added.
