In 1991, Milchan joined Scriba & Deyle and [[Canal+]], forming a joint venture between the three to finance 20 films in five years. As a result, Regency International Pictures was rebranded to Regency Enterprises and a subsidiary of the company known as [[New Regency Productions]] was formed, acting as its production and sales arm. Its films were distributed by [[Warner Bros. Pictures|Warner Bros.]] until 1998, and by 20th Century Fox (later under their parent company [[Walt Disney Pictures|The Walt Disney Studios]]) from 1999 onward (with some released by [[Columbia Pictures]], [[Paramount Pictures]], [[Focus Features]], [[A24]], and [[Amazon MGM Studios]], among others) and with the distribution deal (initially signed in 1997 and was extended twice), Fox bought a 20% stake in the company. This stake remained even after Fox's merger with Disney in 2019, with the deal extended again in late 2021 under Disney's watch. | In 1991, Milchan joined Scriba & Deyle and [[Canal+]], forming a joint venture between the three to finance 20 films in five years.
