The Magnificent Seven (distributors)
The Magnificent Seven is a collective fan name for the seven major home video distributors of Australia around the time home video took off down under. These distributors are as follows:
- CBS/Fox Video (South Pacific)
- Rigby-CIC Video
- Roadshow Home Video
- Star Video
- Thorn EMI Video Australia
- Video Classics
- Warner Home Video
Around the time these seven had been established, RCA/Columbia Pictures International Video had not yet entered into the Australian market, and Buena Vista Home Entertainment was distributing its videotape releases through Creative Video, a subsidiary of Syme Home Video, one of the smaller outfits in Australasia.
