  • Die Film Booking Offices of America (FBO) (deutsch: „Filmbuchungsbüros Amerikas“; auch: FBO Pictures Corporation) waren ein amerikanisches Filmproduktionsunternehmen der Stummfilmzeit, das sich vor allem mit Low-Budget-Filmen beschäftigte. Das Unternehmen begann als amerikanische Zweigstelle einer britischen Außenhandelsfirma unter dem Namen Robertson-Cole (U.S.). Robertson-Cole produzierte seit 1920 eigene Filme und benannte sich 1922 in Film Booking Offices of America um. 1923 schloss das Studio einen Vertrag mit dem Western-Darsteller Fred Thomson, der bald zu einem der beliebtesten Stars Hollywoods wurde. Thomson war nur einer von zahlreichen Leinwand-Cowboys, die das Image von FBO prägten. (de)
