What's with all the different production company names in the opening credits?

I've noticed this for some time now: In the opening credits (even for major studios) a lot of different names for film productions, names like...oh, say "Busted Shoelace Films", "Clean Sock Productions", "In Cooperation With Nosepick Films". But I never see the same name twice.

So, what's the deal? Is it the same group of people? I'm beginning to think this is some sort of tax-dodge. Any ideas?

    I'm not an expert, but I think it's simply because different companies cooperated to make the movie. And the names are just the names of the companies. And about never seeing the same company twice, I've seen companies like Bad Robot many times...
