Over the years, the studio acquired the film libraries of other studios that either became defunct or had merged with it. As a result, StudioCanal now owns the third largest film and television library in the world with over 6,000 titles, only behind [[Warner Bros. Pictures|Warner Bros.]] and [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios|MGM]]. The library includes titles from [[Carolco Pictures]], [[Embassy Films Associates|Avco Embassy Pictures]], and [[Lumiere Pictures|Lumiere]], among others. | |||
