The number of movies that are made in Hollywood each year tends to vary depending on the year. One year could be filled with blockbuster films, while another is heavy with award-worthy films too.
Hollywood, referring to the "Big 6" (Warners, Paramount, Sony, Universal, Disney, etc) and the 10-12 "Mini-Majors, make & release a total of approximately 120-150 movies/year.
These 16-18 companies also acquire (aka: pickup) an additional 40-60 independent films/year that they release.
Thus, the answer is approximately 200 MOVIES/YEAR.
