'''Lionsgate Films''' (trading as '''Lionsgate''' since 2005) is a Canadian-American film production and distribution studio based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with headquarters in Santa Monica, California. Named after Vancouver's '''Lions Gate''' Bridge, it was formed on January 12, 1998, when [[Cinépix Film Properties]] was renamed to this company. The company grew in 2000 with the purchase of [[Trimark Pictures]] and in 2003 with the purchase of [[Artisan Entertainment]] in order to become the largest mini-major distributors. In 2012, the company acquired [[Summit Entertainment]]. In 2015, the company bought out the live-action library of [[Hearst Entertainment]] and a year later, the company purchased Starz, including [[Anchor Bay Films]], which was absorbed into Lionsgate. | |||
