HBO/Cannon Video: Difference between revisions

'''HBO/Cannon Video''' was a short-lived joint venture between Home Box Office (HBO) and [[Cannon Films]], formed through a rename of [[Thorn EMI/HBO Video]]. Cannon inherited {{w|Thorn EMI}}'s stake in the venture when they purchased Thorn EMI's entertainment holdings (including [[Thorn EMI Screen Entertainment]]) 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 Entertainment|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 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.
