Production Company

LIONSGATE


Its an Canadian movie studios. It mostly deals with horror films.

Lions Gate Entertainment Corporation (Sometimes stylized as LIONSGATE) is a Canadian entertainment company that originated in Vancouver, British Columbia and is now headquartered in Santa Monica, California, USA. As of 2007, it is the most commercially successful independent film and television distribution company in North America.


Its first major box office success was American Psycho in 2000, which began a trend of producing and distributing films too controversial for the major American studios. Other notable films included Affliction, Gods and Monsters, Dogma, Saw and the Michael Moore documentary Fahrenheit 9/11, which became the studio's highest grossing film.


Lionsgate (now branded as one word, though the official company name is still two words), along with MGM and Paramount Pictures/Viacom, is also a co-owner of Epix, a new pay TV movie channel which debuted on October 30, 2009 on Verizon FiOS IPTV systems, that will rival HBO and Showtime.


Giustra named the company for a hometown landmark - Vancouver's Lions' Gate Bridge. The term "Lions' Gate" reflects the Lions, a pair of mountain peaks north of Vancouver.


Lions Gate has introduced a new family film label, Lions Gate Family Entertainment. The first film that will be released under this label will be Alpha and Omega. Lions Gate Family Entertainment will be combined with live-action and animated films.


In 2009, Lions Gate, along with Sony Pictures Entertainment, Warner Bros., Paramount, and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, made a stake for Hulu (owned by News Corporation, NBC Universal/General Electric, and The Walt Disney Company) for its movies and TV shows. Lionsgate also stated they would be starting work in music albums, later in 2011.
