Lions Gate Home Entertainment
History
[edit]In 1998, Cinépix Film Properties was sold to Lions Gate Films, and the home video division was rechristened as Lions Gate Films Home Entertainment. Initially, they released product only in Canada. Lions Gate owned additional home video labels, such as Avalanche Home Entertainment, and minority interests in Studio Home Entertainment and Eaton Entertainment.
Most of Lions Gate's big titles in the U.S. were released by Universal Studios Home Video, with the lone title, Dogma being released by Columbia TriStar Home Video.
In 2000, the company acquired Trimark Holdings. Afterwards, the labels Trimark Home Video, Eaton Entertainment, Studio Home Entertainment and Avalanche Home Entertainment were consolidated to form the U.S. Lions Gate Home Entertainment in 2000, with each company serving as an imprint. In 2001, the company secured a distribution deal with DIC Home Entertainment, only for the deal to lapse in 2002. The Trimark, Eaton, Studio and Avalanche names disappeared in 2002.
In 2003, the company bought out Artisan Entertainment. From that point on, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, which was the main distribution agent for Artisan at the time, was so for LGHE, while LGHE continued to handle marketing and sales of its titles, as was the case with Artisan. Two years later, in 2005, Family Home Entertainment became Lionsgate Family Entertainment.
In 2008, the company began distributing titles by HIT Entertainment after its deal with 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment lapsed; this deal would later lapse in 2014. This was followed by a deal with American Greetings in 2009.
In 2012, the company started distributing titles from Summit Entertainment after leaving Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. In 2016, it acquired Anchor Bay Entertainment, and that was folded into LGHE after the merger with Starz Inc.
After Disney acquired 21st Century Fox's entertainment assets in 2019, with Fox becoming 20th Century Studios the following year, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment remained LGHE's main distribution agent until 2021. Afterwards, LGHE secured a distribution deal with Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Once again, while SPHE handles distribution, LGHE continues to handle marketing and sales.
In 2023, Lionsgate acquired Entertainment One.
