'''Largo Entertainment''' was a production company founded in August 1989. It was ran by movie producers and brothers Lawrence and Charles Gordon and was backed by Japanese electronics firm JVC/Victor in an investment that cost more than $100 million. The production company released their first film, ''Point Break'', in 1991. In 1992, they formed "Largo International N.V.", a short-lived international division of Largo Entertainment that was established shortly after Largo itself was founded. Largo went out of business in 1999, and their film library was acquired by [[InterMedia Films|InterMedia]] in 2001. [[Warner Bros. Pictures|Warner Bros.]] holds video rights to most of the InterMedia-owned Largo Entertainment library, with a few exceptions. | '''Largo Entertainment''' was a production company founded in August 1989.
