Lionsgate Films is a North American film production-distribution company, founded in 1998. It is a subsidary of Lions Gate Entertainment. It is currently the largest and most successful independent film distributor- studio in North America. It focuses mainly of foreign and independent films.
In 2000 Frank Giustra left the firm and it was taken over by Jon Feltheimer and Tom Ortenberg. They decided to focus on the profits of videos and DVDs and began buying struggling firms that cotrolled large libraries. These gave Lionsgate the second largest DVD library of any company which includes, Reservoir Dogs, Dirty Dancing and It's A wonderful life.
It's continued success is demonstrated by celebrity support such as with its all star cast and well recognized film, Crash and with SAW, which won its opening weekend at the box office.
In 2006 it became Lionsgate UK.
Distributing SAW could suggest they would be interested in our Horror/ Thriller.
If we were to have this company distribute our film it would mean they would be able to distribute it in theatrical, DVD and other retail fields. They can also sell their films to be played on TV which would make our film more available to people who have LoveFilm etc.
