It was inaugurated in 1945 after a 1943 agreement between RKO and Emilio Azcárraga Vidaurreta (of Televisa). 😊 In 1950, it was acquired by the government of Mexico and merged with Estudios y Laboratorios Azteca to form Estudios 😊 Churubusco Azteca. Since 1958 it has been controlled by the government of Mexico. Of the four motion picture studios during 😊 the golden age of Mexican cinema—the others were Estudios America, Estudios San Angel and Estudios Tepeyac—it and Televisa San Angel 😊 (the former Estudios San Angel) are still in operation.

It is estimated that 95% of the films produced in Mexico since 😊 2000 have used many of the services the studio provides. Among the films shot at the Estudios Churubusco were Honey, 😊 I Shrunk the Kids (1989), Amores perros (2000), which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, 😊 and Frida (2002).
