Currently, most of Orion's post-1982 films are owned by MGM (with Orion retaining the copyright). Warner Bros. continues to own all pre-1982 films, select films that they released afterwards (although MGM/Orion does own two Orion films they released after the initial deal, ''A Midsummer's Night Sex Comedy'' and ''Zelig'') and films produced by The Saul Zaentz Company, [[StudioCanal]] owns ''First Blood'' through producer [[Carolco Pictures]], [[HBO Films]] owns North American distribution rights to ''Three Amigos'' (MGM retains TV and foreign rights, however), [[Paramount Pictures]] owns North American distribution rights to ''The Addams Family'' and [[Lionsgate Films]] owns films produced by [[Artisan Entertainment|LIVE Entertainment]]. Films produced by [[Nelson Entertainment]] and [[Hemdale Film Corporation]] were originally distributed by Orion and became owned by MGM (with Orion holding the copyright) after MGM purchased the pre-March 31, 1996 [[PolyGram Filmed Entertainment|PolyGram Filmed Entertainment]] library. | Currently, most of Orion's post-1982 films are owned by MGM (with Orion retaining the copyright).
