CIC Video: Difference between revisions

'''Cinema Intentional Corporation Video''', commonly known as '''CIC Video''', was a home video distributor owned by [[Cinema International Corporation]] (CIC) and its successor [[United International Pictures]] (UIP), and operated in some countries by local operators. Outside of the United States and Canada, it distributed films by [[Universal Pictures]] and [[Paramount Pictures]], UIP's partners. [[DreamWorks Pictures|DreamWorks]] films were added to the company output in 1998 (which were distributed under DreamWorks' [[DreamWorks Home Entertainment|home video branch]]), as the fledgling studio had a worldwide video distribution deal with Universal. In 1999, CIC Video was dissolved when Universal purchased [[PolyGram Filmed Entertainment|PolyGram]] and reorganized its [[Universal Pictures Home Entertainment|video division]] under the Universal name. [[Paramount Home Entertainment]] became CIC Video's successor after acquiring full ownership and merging it into Paramount's video division. That same year, [[Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment|Columbia TriStar Home Video]] signed an international video distribution deal with Universal to release movies and TV shows on DVD internationally.
