Steven Spielberg's DreamWorks Pictures took over five more of the sound stages.

Another major tenant of the South Bay new studio was none other than 20th Century Fox, which contracted early to lease at least five of the 14 new sound stages for five years.

In July of 1998, Raleigh Studios (Hollywood's longest continually-operated studio) inked a five-year deal to manage and operate the studio (those sound stages and space not leased by Fox), making Raleigh "the area's largest independent studio group in terms of stages."
