In general, the movie production companies and record label companies are not referred to as publishers, though I suppose you could consider them that. Movies, music and books are three very different businesses with very different business models.
In general, movies and music tend to hold their economic value much longer than books. Movies like Gone With the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Mr Smith Goes to Washington and Stagecoach still have economic value and bring in not insignificant sums of money each year.
