'''Cinergi''' was a production company formed by Andrew G. Vajna in 1989, after he left [[Carolco Pictures]]. It produced only four notable films and many duds, eventually closing in 1998. Most of Cinergi's library assets were acquired by Buena Vista/The Walt Disney Company, which distributed almost all of Cinergi's productions (most under the [[Hollywood Pictures]] label, though two of their films were under the [[Touchstone Pictures]] label) except for ''Die Hard: With a Vengeance'', which 20th Century Fox owned the rights to until 2019 when it was acquired by Disney after its merger with Fox (though they had already acquired international distribution rights for that film). The other assets were to be merged into CPEI Acquisition, Inc., a joint venture between Vajna and the Valdina Corporation, while Vajna himself went on to form [[C2 Pictures]]. Cinergi's first release was ''Medicine Man'' on February 7, 1992, which had the print logo on the poster and trailers, though no logo was used in the film itself. However, the animated onscreen logo made its first appearance on ''Tombstone''. In 2003, Cinergi would make a revival when Vajna bought video game company Games Unlimited and renamed it Cinergi Interactive. The company would operate until 2007.
