'''Destination Films''' was originally founded as an independent film company by Brent Baum and Steve Stabler in late 1998. [[Sony Pictures Entertainment|Sony Pictures]] distributed their films on home video. The company went under in February 2001 after a mid-list of box office bombs. However, [[Sony Group Corporation|Sony]] quickly bought Destination from its co-founders and revitalized it as its new "niche" film arm a year later. It was later reenacted as a label of Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment (later in 2004 known as [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment]]). Since 2007, following a company reorganization at Sony and its many factions, Destination was remade into a label of the newly formed Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions alongside [[Stage 6 Films|Stage 6]] and [[Affirm Films]]. | '''Destination Films''' was originally founded as an independent film company by Brent Baum and Steve Stabler in late 1998.

As of 2023, the company is currently active; Destination sometimes co-releases films with [[Sony Pictures Classics]] and [[Samuel Goldwyn Films]]. Destination co-released or produced films in association with [[Triumph Films]]. However, Triumph was folded in 2014, with Destination supplanting the label's purpose within Sony. Destination's film library includes independent films, art-house films, and a few anime titles such as ''Tekkonkinkreet'', ''Cowboy Bebop: The Movie'', and ''Metropolis''. | As of 2023, the company is currently active; Destination sometimes co-releases films with [[Sony Pictures Classics]] and [[Samuel Goldwyn Films]].
