===Background=== | |||
In May 1987, amid financial issues, [[Cannon Films]] sold the assets of {{w|Thorn EMI}} and dropped out of [[HBO/Cannon Video|its joint venture with HBO]] not long after. From that point on, HBO operated the video label on their own, renaming the label '''HBO Video''' (it was also known as '''HBO Home Video''' from 1993 to 2005). The label was renamed again in 2009, this time to '''HBO Home Entertainment'''. In 2020, HBO Home Entertainment was absorbed into [[Warner Bros. Home Entertainment]]. Since then, newer home media releases of HBO material bear the WBHE name instead. | |||
