'''Regency Enterprises''' is | '''Regency Enterprises''' is an American film production company formed by Arnon Milchan and Joseph P. Grace. It was founded in 1982 as '''Embassy International Pictures''', with international sales being handled by [[Producers Sales Organization]] (and some titles being released internationally by [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]]), but the company's name was changed to '''Regency International Pictures''' to avoid confusion with Norman Lear and Jerry Perenchio's [[Embassy Films Associates|Embassy Pictures]]' global division Embassy Pictures International. | ||
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.

'''Trivia:''' On the audio commentary of ''Gone Girl'' (2014), director David Fincher comments at the beginning of the film that it became profoundly aware to him and others during editing that Regency needed to get a new logo (this being before the company did indeed debut a new logo). | '''Trivia:''' On the audio commentary of ''Gone Girl'' (2014), director David Fincher comments at the beginning of the film that it became profoundly aware to him and others during editing that Regency needed to get a new logo (this being before the company did indeed debut a new logo). | ||

Then the company name in Blair appears from right to left in the same color. | ||
