HBO/Cannon Video was a short-lived joint venture between Home Box Office (HBO) and [[Cannon Films]]. Cannon inherited [[Thorn EMI Screen Entertainment|Thorn EMI]]'s stake in the venture when they purchased Thorn EMI's entertainment holdings in 1986; despite this, few Cannon films were released by the label due to Cannon having pre-existing deals with other companies, including [[MGM/UA Home Video]] and [[Media Home Entertainment]]. This incarnation of the label was short-lived, as Cannon sold the Thorn EMI assets amid financial issues in May of 1987, and dropped out of the joint venture not long after, resulting in [[HBO Home Entertainment|HBO operating the video label]] on their own from that point. | HBO/Cannon Video was a short-lived joint venture between Home Box Office (HBO) and [[Cannon Films]].
