TAKEI's decision to resign was partly motivated by the formation of "Nihon Katsudo Josetsukan Kanshu Renmei Eiga Haikyu Honsha" (Distribution Company Headquarters for Movie Theater Owners in Japan) (also known as "Kanshu Renmei" [the Theater Owner's Association]) by Tokujiro YAMAZAKI, as well as by the establishment of former Makino members Hiroshi KAWAI and Juzu TANAKA's studio-for-rent "Japan Kinema Studio" (Narabigaoka Studio) in Narabigaoka, Kyoto.
その背景には、山崎徳次郎による「日本活動常設館館主連盟映画配給本社」の設立、マキノを退社した河合広始と田中十三による京都・双ヶ丘の貸しスタジオ「日本キネマ撮影所」（双ヶ丘撮影所）の設立があった。
