Revolution Studios

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Revolution Studios was founded in 2000 by Joe Roth, a former chairman of Walt Disney Studios and Twentieth Century Fox. Revolution is a strategic partner of Sony Pictures, which distributes and markets Revolution's films.

Revolution Studios has strategic partnerships with Sony Pictures, Fox Entertainment Group, and Starz Encore Group. Sony Pictures releases Revolution's output into movie theaters domestically and internationally, and facilitates distribution (via Sony/Columbia Pictures) for Revolution content to DVD/home video. The Starz Encore Group has the rights to Revolution's library for their pay-television channels (Starz and Encore) through Sony Pictures Television and distributed in association with Debmar-Mercury. Fox Entertainment Group retains the broadcast television rights (Revolution content will air on the FOX Broadcasting Company) and basic cable rights (FX Networks) via through Sony Pictures Television and Debmar-Mercury (broadcast syndication of Revolution Studios films will go through Debmar-Mercury and 20th Television).

After a number of years, the distribution rights of the films revert to Revolution Studios, which can then decide how to manage its library of films.

Revolution is a privately-held company, with Roth owning the controlling interest. Other shareholders include Hollywood executives Todd Garner, Rob Moore, Tom Sherak and Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, as well as Sony Pictures, the Starz Encore Group (which owns pay cable rights), and Twentieth Century Fox. According to an article released by Reuters, Revolution Studios will be closing its doors in October 2007 which is also the end of the five year deal with Sony Pictures. [1]
