Greater Union Film Distributors: Difference between revisions

'''Greater Union Film Distributors''', a successor to [[GUO Film Distributors]], was the name of the distribution arm of [[Greater Union Cinemas]], an Australian cinema chain. The company distributed its own productions as well as those of [[Thorn EMI Screen Entertainment]], [[Walt Disney Productions]] (later [[Walt Disney Pictures]]), and the [[Touchstone Pictures]] subsidiary that was founded by Disney in 1984. In 1987, Greater Union Film Distributors merged with the distribution arm of Village Roadshow, but both companies retained their own patterns of distributing films temporarily. In 1992, Greater Union Film Distributors was absorbed into [[Roadshow Films]]. The Greater Union chain (which renamed itself to Event Cinemas in 2010) is now owned by Event Hospitality and Entertainment, which falls under Village Roadshow ownership.
