Revolution Studios is a company founded in 2000 by Joe Roth, a former chairman of Walt Disney | Revolution Studios is a company founded in 2000 by Joe Roth, a former chairman of [[Walt Disney Pictures]] and [[20th Century Fox]]. The majority of its movies were distributed by [[Sony Pictures Entertainment]] (some were released by [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]] though). Revolution Studios closed its film division doors in October 2007 after its deal with Sony expired, though the underperformance of a number of their films at that time was also a likely contributor. In 2010, their television division was revived. In June 2014, Roth sold the company to Fortress Investment Group for roughly $250 million, while still remaining a strategic adviser; shortly after this, Revolution slowly worked back into film, mainly through acquiring the rights to several companies' films like Cold Spring Pictures and the international rights to [[Morgan Creek Productions|Morgan Creek]]'s titles. On January 20, 2017, Revolution released their first film in 10 years, ''xXx: Return of Xander Cage''. | ||

'''Music/Sounds:''' Whooshing sounds throughout as the bars fly by. It usually doesn't have music or uses the beginning of the movie's theme, all with the whooshes, or sometimes there aren't any whooshes. During the logo's first year, a majestic orchestral fanfare is used. This can be heard on ''Tomcats'', ''America's Sweethearts'', and Jet Li's ''The One''. | '''Music/Sounds:''' Whooshing sounds throughout as the bars fly by.
