Morgan Creek Entertainment: Difference between revisions

'''Morgan Creek Entertainment''' (formerly known as Morgan Creek Productions) is a production company co-founded in 1987 by producer Joe Roth and former auto import executive James G. Robinson. The name of the company comes from Roth's favorite movie, 1944's ''The Miracle of '''Morgan'''<nowiki/>'s '''Creek'''''. Some of its most successful films include the ''Ace Ventura'' and ''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, ''All Eyez on Me'' was distributed by [[Summit Entertainment]], and the upcoming ''Exorcist'' movie will be distributed by Universal). The library 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
