===Background===
===Background===
'''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.  
'''Regency Enterprises''' is an American film production company formed in 1991 as a joint venture between film producer Arnon Milchan, Scriba & Deyle and [[Canal+]] to finance 20 films in five years, with [[New Regency Productions]] acting as its production and sales arm. Its films were distributed by [[Warner Bros. Pictures|Warner Bros.]] until 1998, and by [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] (later under their current 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). With the distribution deal it initially signed in 1997 (and later 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. 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.
Today much of Regency's film library is held by Disney through [[20th Century Studios]]; however, Warner Bros. has retained distribution rights to select titles released during the Warner partnership, including ''JFK'', ''Heaven & Earth'', ''Natural Born Killers'', and ''Tin Cup''.
 
International home video distribution was handled by [[Thorn EMI Video]], which later became [[Cannon Video]], which later sold the Thorn EMI library to [[Weintraub Entertainment Group]]. [[Warner Bros. Home Entertainment|Warner Home Video]], Weintraub's international home video distributor, later acquired the worldwide video rights outright from Weintraub, and today the library is distributed by Disney through the subsidiary now known as 20th Century Studios. [[RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video]] released the sole title Regency outright owned in North America during the '80s, ''The King of Comedy'', and television rights were handled by [[Viacom Productions|Viacom International]]. Warner Bros. has retained distribution rights to select titles released during the Warner partnership, including ''JFK'', ''Heaven & Earth'', ''Natural Born Killers'', and ''Tin Cup''.
