In 1994, Cinépix acquired Famous Players' share of C/FP, which was renamed to "Cinépix Inc. Distribution" two years later, then again to '''Cinépix Film Properties''' that same year. At the time, its assets included a 56% stake in animation company [[CinéGroupe]]. In 1997, Cinépix was purchased by Canadian financier Frank Giustra and CFP was renamed to "Lions Gate Films" on January 12, 1998. | In 1994, Cinépix acquired Famous Players' share of C/FP, which was renamed to "Cinépix Inc.

'''Logo:''' On an evening | '''Logo:''' On an evening background above with water below (a la the 1989 [[Atlantis Communications]] logo), we see the sun setting and coloring everything in a {{color|blue|bluish}} tint. Then, the {{color|silver}} word "CFP" (in a slim variation of the Adobe Revue font) slowly rises out of the water to face us. Then it spins and changes into "{{color|silver|CiNEPiX}}" in the same font. Finally, "{{color|silver|FILM PROPERTIES}}" fades in underneath "{{color|silver|CiNEPiX}}" at the right corner. | ||
