'''Lionsgate Films''' (trading as '''Lionsgate''' since 2005) is a Canadian-American film 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 reincorporated under this name. 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). | '''Lionsgate Films''' (trading as '''Lionsgate''' since 2005) is a Canadian-American film studio based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with headquarters in Santa Monica, California.
