The Interscope Communications name continued to be used under films planned for the label, but instead used for Focus Features until 2003. In 2004, Focus revived Rogue as a genre-specific subsidiary of horror, thriller, African-American, high suspense and action. Ten years later, the label acquired [[FilmDistrict]] and absorbed it shortly after. A year following, Focus revived [[Gramercy Pictures]] as a full on film label, but dissolved it again in 2016 following the box office failure of ''Ratchet & Clank''.
