This article is about the film studio which was formerly called "Mandalay Entertainment". For the privately held company, see
Mandalay Entertainment .
Mandalay Pictures or Mandalay Vision is an American independent film production company founded on May 27, 1995, which is part of producer and businessman Peter Guber 's Mandalay Entertainment . From 1997 until 2002, Lionsgate owned a stake in Mandalay Pictures before selling it. The company's mascot is a tiger.[ 1]
The film studio was formed at the same time as the parent company Mandalay Entertainment in 1995 by Peter Guber, who was formerly head of Sony Pictures Entertainment and The Guber-Peters Company . At first, it struck an exclusive film and television deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment , which was releasing its films through the Columbia and TriStar distribution labels.[ 2] [ 3]
In 1998, it was moved over from Sony to Paramount Pictures .[ 4] At the same time, it struck a partnership with Lions Gate Entertainment to acquire the assets of the company.[ 5] The deal did not include the television division , which remained with Columbia TriStar Television .[ 6] In September 1998, Mandalay signed a distribution deal with Canal+ and Pathé joint-venture C+P to handle distribution of Mandalay's films in the United Kingdom, France and Belgium/Luxembourg.[ 7]
In 2002, the deal was transferred from Paramount Pictures to Universal Pictures , and launched its international sales division.[ 8] In November 2002, it was separated from Lions Gate Entertainment .[ 9]
In 2004, Ori Marmur left Mandalay Pictures, and decided to join Original Film . Ironically Original Film is producing the I Know What You Did Last Summer movies for Mandalay Pictures.[ 10]
In 2007, it launched a division Mandalay Independent Pictures, and it was to focus on making independent pictures.[ 11] In 2010, it became Mandalay Vision[ 12] and Matthew Rhodes was appointed president in 2011.[ 13]
