Legacy Releasing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Legacy Releasing was an independent film distribution company based in California. It was founded in 1996 by Mark Borde, a veteran in the motion picture industry.

The company's first two releases, Once Upon a Time...When We Were Colored and Robert Wuhl's Open Season, were shown at the Cannes Film Festival the same year it was established. [1] Afterwards, it became a leader in independent distribution, releasing an average of 15 films per year.

Notable films from the company included Little Men, Wedding Bell Blues, The Swan Princess: Escape from Castle Mountain, Shiloh (and its sequel, Shiloh Season), and the animated version of Pippi Longstocking.

None of Legacy's output was successful financially. Its highest-grossing film, When We Were Colored, only took close to $2.3 million at the U.S. box office. [2]

In 1999, Legacy went out of business, and Borde went on to become co-president of another company, the short-lived Independent Artists. As of 2006, Legacy's official site (legacyfilms.com) no longer exists.
