Hallmark Home Entertainment
History
[edit]Hallmark Home Entertainment was a subsidiary of Hallmark Entertainment that was originally formed in late 1994 by Steven Beaks, former executive of Republic Pictures Home Entertainment. The label's first deal was with Samuel Goldwyn Home Entertainment, for a four-year term.
In Canada, its releases were distributed by Malofilm Video.
Prior to the formation of the label, Hallmark had pre-existing contracts with Republic Pictures and RHI, which did not expire until 1996.
The label also launched a subsidiary, Evergreen Entertainment, dedicated mainly to titles outside of Hallmark's traditional family fare.
In 1997, it secured a distribution deal in the US with Live Entertainment, and in 1998, it purchased competing distributor Cabin Fever Entertainment. Afterwards, the label's agreement with Goldwyn expired, which was a year after Goldwyn was acquired by Metromedia.
Hallmark Home Entertainment eventually folded in 2004.
