===Background=== | |||
Filmways Pictures was a film studio that was a division of [[Filmways Television]] that was founded in 1980 from the acquisition of [[American International Pictures]] in 1979 and was folded into [[Orion Pictures]] in 1982. Filmways had been producing films, prior to their acquisition of AIP, since 1967 and also owned film distributor [[Sigma III Corporation]]. Filmways, Inc. was later reincorporated as "Orion Pictures Corporation" in June of that same year. Currently most of the Filmways film library is owned by [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]] with Orion retaining the copyright. The rights to films that Filmways produced prior to the AIP acquisition are owned by the original distributors. | |||
