===Background=== | ===Background=== | ||
'''Anchor Bay Entertainment''' was a home video and production company originally formed in May 1995, when both [[Video Treasures]] and [[Starmaker Entertainment|Starmaker]] were purchased by the Handleman Company and merged into Anchor Bay. It remained a part of Handleman until 2003, when it was sold to [[IDT Entertainment]]. In 2006, IDT was purchased by Liberty Media, and IDT became Starz Media (now [[Starz Distribution]]) and the next year Anchor Bay was renamed [[Starz Home Entertainment]], only for it to revert back to its original name in 2008. In March 2011, [[The Weinstein Company]] purchased 25% of Anchor Bay. In 2016, [[Lionsgate Films|Lionsgate]] reached an agreement with Starz to acquire the company for $4.4 billion. A year later, Anchor Bay was folded into Lionsgate's home media division. | '''Anchor Bay Entertainment''' was a home video and production company originally formed in May 1995, when both [[Video Treasures]] and [[Starmaker Entertainment|Starmaker]] were purchased by the Handleman Company and merged into Anchor Bay.
