Cinema City Company Limited was a major Hong Kong film studio founded by Raymond Wong, Karl Maka, and Dean Shek in 1970 as Warriors Films Company. After recieving funding from [[Golden Princess Amusement Co. Ltd.|Golden Princess]] in 1980 and a deal with them, they renamed themselves to Cinema City Films & Co. and would begin challenging other studios like [[Orange Sky Golden Harvest Entertainment Co.|Golden Harvest]] and [[Shaw Brothers Ltd.|Shaw Brothers]]. The studio ran into some financial troubles around 1989, and would split off into several companies under the Cinema City name: Cinema City & Films Company (by Raymond Wong), [[Cinema City Enterprises Ltd.|Cinema City Enterprises/Cinema Capital Entertainment]] (by Karl Maka) and [[Cinema City Entertainment Co. Ltd.|Cinema City Entertainment]] (by Dean Shek). Only Raymond Wong remained to continue making movies as Mandarin Films Limited since 1992 (later Pegasus Motion Pictures and Mandarin Motion Pictures), and would eventually revive the name to be used as a local theatre chain in 2014, simply named [[Cinema City]].
