In fact, it never was out of business. No fire could scare Universal Studios. Not even the huge blaze that broke out on June 1st, destroying a building set.

According to The Los Angeles Times, the studio officials said the blaze didn’t cause much damage and its effect on movie or television production was of little importance.

Ron Meyer, the studio's president and chief operating officer, said that tomorrow things would get back to normal.

The fire destroyed two sets which appeared in the movies "Back to the Future,” “When Harry Met Sally" and “The Sting.”

Jim Yeager, former head of public relations for Universal Parks and Resorts said that the sets would be repaired pretty soon.

No damage estimates have been given. The investigators are still looking for the cause of fire.

Located north of downtown Los Angeles, mostly within Los Angeles County, the Universal Studios theme park offers visitors the chance to see sets from films such as "Psycho" and Steven Spielberg's "War of the Worlds" as well as television shows like "Desperate Housewives" and "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation."

The fire didn’t affect the 17th edition of the Movie Awards competition which was broadcast live from the Gibson Amphitheater in Universal City, California, safe and sound from the fire that blazed through Universal Studios.
