Morgan Creek Entertainment: Difference between revisions

'''Morgan Creek Entertainment''' (formerly known as Morgan Creek Productions) is a production company founded by former auto import worker James G. Robinson in 1987. The name of the company comes from Joe Roth's favorite movie, which is ''The Miracle of '''Morgan'''<nowiki/>'s '''Creek''''' from 1944. Some of its most successful films include the ''Ace Ventura'' films and the ''Young Guns'' films. Its films were distributed (at least in North America and the British Isles) by [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] from 1988-1990 (however, ''Renegades'' and ''Coup De Ville'' were from [[Universal Pictures|Universal]] and ''Major League'' was from [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]], with international sales handled by J&M Entertainment), [[Warner Bros. Pictures|Warner Bros.]] from 1991-2004 and Universal from 2005-2011 (Warner distributed ''Ace Ventura, Jr.'' from 2009, select international rights to ''Dream House'', whilst Universal had US rights, and ''All Eyez on Me'' was distributed by [[Summit Entertainment]]). The rights were acquired by [[Revolution Studios]] in 2014, with sales handled by [[Miramax Films|Miramax]]. Video rights now rest with [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment]] in the United States and Canada. Currently, [[Sony Pictures Television]] handles the digital and television rights of Morgan Creek and Revolution titles worldwide, with few exceptions (for example, ''Young Guns'', its first film, is owned outright by [[Lionsgate Films|Lionsgate]] through its international distributor, [[Vestron Pictures|Vestron]] with TV rights held by Sony).{{ImageTOC
