<u>Background:</u> In 1990, New Line Cinema established its own video label as New Line Home Video (later renamed New Line Home Entertainment in 2001) and started releasing its videos the following year through RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video (which became Columbia TriStar Home Video) while Laserdisc releases were exclusively distributed by Image Entertainment. Prior to this, RCA/Columbia had been releasing some New Line films on video including the first two ''Critters'' films, ''Alone in the Dark'' (1982 version), ''Quiet Cool'', ''My Demon Lover'' and ''House Party''. Other distributors had also been releasing New Line films on video such as Media Home Entertainment (''Nightmare on Elm Street 1-5''), HBO Video (''Xtro'' and ''The Blood of Heroes'') and LIVE Entertainment (''Babar The Movie'', ''Chicago Joe and the Showgirl'' and ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles''). Even after forming its own video label, New Line still licensed some titles to LIVE such as ''Drop Dead Fred'' (a PolyGram/Working Title production which New Line released theatrically in the US), ''Glengarry Glen Ross'', ''London Kills Me'' (a Fine Line Features release) and all Seven Arts films which New Line released (Seven Arts was a New Line/Carolco joint venture which resulted in video rights going to LIVE). New Line's acquisition of Nelson Entertainment in 1991 enhanced its home video library; they distributed some Castle Rock Entertainment films and reissued several former Embassy Home Entertainment titles in addition to the main studio's selections. On January 28, 1994, New Line's video distribution shifted to Turner Home Entertainment after Turner acquired New Line. After Time Warner (now "WarnerMedia") bought out Turner in 1996, New Line's video distribution shifted once again to Warner Home Video. In 2008, it became a division of Warner Home Video and folded 2 years later. | <u>Background:</u> In 1990, [[New Line Cinema]] established its own video label as New Line Home Video (later renamed New Line Home Entertainment in 2001) and started releasing its videos the following year through [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment#RCA.2FColumbia_Pictures_Home_Video|RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video]] (which became [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment#Columbia_TriStar_Home_Entertainment|Columbia TriStar Home Video]]) while Laserdisc releases were exclusively distributed by [[Image Entertainment]].
