Triumph Films: Difference between revisions

'''Triumph Films''' (also known as '''Triumph Releasing Corporation''') was originally formed in 1982 as a joint venture between [[Columbia Pictures]] and French studio [[Gaumont|Gaumont Film Company]] to distribute Gaumont content and some independent films in the US. This joint venture lasted until 1985, when Gaumont was looking to set up their own operations in the states. However, Columbia (through [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment]]) retained the Triumph branding rights and all films distributed during the venture. In 1988, it was revived as a specialty label to handle independent, low-budget, and direct-to-video film releases as well as distributing [[Epic Productions]] and [[Vision P.D.G. International|Vision International]] releases theatrically. The label went dormant again in 1998, and was reactivated in 2002 to release independent and direct-to-video fare such as ''Steamboy'' and ''Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2''. Triumph Films has been in dormancy since 2008 and has only been revived once as a one-off label in 2014; currently, [[Destination Films]] has supplanted Triumph's purpose within Sony.

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, there is a bright {{color|orange}} light rising from the lower right-hand corner to the upper-left hand corner of the screen bringing along the 3-D word "TRIUMPH" rising from the bottom to the center. As the light starts to dim down to make a sunburst effect (almost similar to the 1976 Columbia Pictures and the recent Triumph logos), the {{color|orange}} light turns white revealing a {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}} line lighting up the flower while the word "TRIUMPH" later turns white and zooming in a little while the word "FILMS" in Trajan Pro Bold with lines in between zooming in and fading in slowly at the same time with the word above. The byline "{{Font|Times New Roman|{{color|blue|'''a Sony Pictures Entertainment company'''}}}}" later fades in fades in underneath the logo.

'''Audio:''' Either the Graziano fanfare, silence, or the film's opening theme.
