American movie studio
Artisan Entertainment
(formerly known as
U.S.A. Home Video
,
International Video Entertainment
(
IVE
) and
LIVE Entertainment
) was an American
film studio
and
home video company
. It was considered one of the largest
mini-major film studios
[1]
until it was purchased by later mini-major film studio
Lions Gate Entertainment
in 2003. At the time of its acquisition, Artisan had a library of thousands of films developed through acquisition, original production, and production and distribution agreements. Its headquarters and private screening room were located in
Santa Monica, California
. It also had an office in
Tribeca
in
Manhattan
,
New York
.
[2]
The company owned the home video rights to the film libraries of
Republic Pictures
,
ITC Entertainment
,
Gladden Entertainment
,
Miramax Films
,
Hemdale Film Corporation
,
The Shooting Gallery
, and
Carolco Pictures
before it went defunct.
Artisan's releases included
Requiem for a Dream
,
Pi
,
Killing Zoe
,
The Blair Witch Project
,
Grizzly Falls
,
Startup.com
,
Novocaine
, and
National Lampoon's Van Wilder

History
[
edit
]
Artisan, unlike most movie studios, had its roots in the
home video
industry.
1980s
[
edit
]
Artisan Entertainment was founded in 1980 by
Noel C. Bloom
as
Family Home Entertainment, Inc.
, and it was initially operated as a subsidiary of adult film distributor
Caballero Control Corporation
. It received a distribution pact with
Wizard Video
. In 1982, the latter had sold
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
10,000 copies a week.
[3]
Also that year, the label started distributing titles by
Monterey Home Video
. Later on, it received a distribution deal with
MGM/UA Home Video
to distribute the library. In 1983, it received a new agreement with Filmation in order to distribute the library on videocassette.
[4]
In 1983, FHE began operating its new subsidiary
U.S.A. Home Video
,
[5]
when tapes were usually packaged in large boxes and included non-family films such as
Supergirl
,
Silent Night, Deadly Night
, several
Lorimar
titles and many
B-movies
, including those that begin and end with B-actress
Sybil Danning
talking about the film that is being shown under the Adventure Video label. U.S.A. also released sports videos under the
U.S.A. Sports Video
label.
In 1984, FHE and U.S.A. became part of Noel Bloom's NCB Entertainment Group (which also included Bloom's other labels
Caballero Home Video
,
Monterey Home Video
and Thriller Video), and then later on that year, both were consolidated into
International Video Entertainment, Inc.
, formed under NCB and also taking ownership of Monterey and Thriller Video. The IVE name was used for non-family releases (although the U.S.A. name continued until 1987) and the FHE name was used for family releases.
[6]
[7]
[8]
[9]
[10]
[11]
[12]
Also that year, Bloom launched Concept Productions to develop live programming.
[13]
In the late 1980s, the company also branched out into film distribution for television.
In 1987, IVE was acquired by
Carolco Pictures
from NCB Entertainment after Carolco had taken a minority interest in the latter a year earlier.
[14]
[15]
[16]
[17]
[18]
That year, it secured a deal with MCA Distributing Corporation to handle distribution of its titles.
[19]
The unrated release of
Angel Heart
was the first Carolco film released by IVE on video. The studio hired Jose Menendez, previously of
RCA
, as head of IVE; he was responsible for creating product deals with
Sylvester Stallone
's White Eagle Enterprises and producer
Edward Pressman
.
[14]
In 1989, Menendez and his wife were murdered by
their two sons
.
[14]
[20]
Also in 1987, Noel C. Bloom left IVE, following disputes with Carolco, to start out
Celebrity Home Entertainment
, with some of IVE's employees defecting to Celebrity.
[21]
[22]
Later that year, the company had acquired the assets of home video distributor Vista Home Video from The Vista Organization for $38 million.
[23]
In 1988, IVE and FHE consolidated into
LIVE Entertainment
after a merger with wholesale media distributor Lieberman Enterprises.
[24]
[25]
LIVE formed new ventures outside the home video business, including ownership of retail music and video chains across the East Coast, after the acquisitions of such stores as Strawberries and Waxie Maxie, and its Lieberman subsidiary acquired
Navarre Corporation
.
[14]
Also that year, it partnered with distributor Radio Vision International to launch a music-oriented label,
Radio Vision Video
.
[26]
1990?1997
[
edit
]
In 1990, IVE became
LIVE Home Video
. Carolco formed its own home video division under a partnership with LIVE. The company also formed
Avid Home Entertainment
, which reissued older IVE products, as well as
ITC Entertainment
's back catalogue, on videocassette at discount prices. Also in 1990, LIVE acquired German video distributor VCL.
[14]
[27]
LIVE Entertainment also branched out into film production. The company spent more than a million dollars to finance the 1992 film
Reservoir Dogs
, which marked the directorial debut of
Quentin Tarantino
.
[28]
Other films included
Paul Schrader
's
Light Sleeper
.
[14]
On January 11, 1991, Live announced that it would acquire
Vestron, Inc.
for $24 million after its downfall; Vestron had been known best for
Dirty Dancing
, which had been the second highest-grossing independent film of all time. Vestron releases continued into 1992.
[29]
For several years starting in 1993, LIVE Entertainment distributed anime released by
Pioneer Entertainment
, including
Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki
and the first
Tenchi Muyo!
movie,
Tenchi Muyo! in Love
.
Much of LIVE's earnings were partially thanks to Carolco's investment in the company, but by 1991, the studio was in such debt that a plan to merge the two companies was called off that December; around this time, the Lieberman assets were sold to another video distributor, Handleman, in an effort to stem LIVE's financial bleeding.
[30]
In 1992, its distribution agreement with Uni Distribution Corporation has been expired, and signed a deal with Warner-Elektra-Atlantic.
[31]
In 1993, Carolco restructured itself and was forced to sell its shares in LIVE Entertainment to a group of investors led by
Pioneer Electronic Corporation
.
[14]
In August 1994, Carolco and LIVE plotted another merger attempt, but the plans fell apart once again that October.
[32]
[33]
Under new CEO Roger Burlage, the unprofitable retail assets were sold and more focus was placed upon film production. In 1996, when Carolco ceased to exist as a company,
StudioCanal
got full rights to their film library; LIVE, under a new deal with the French-based production company, continued to distribute Carolco's films for video. Also that year, in July, WEA's role has been mostly decreased, with LIVE took control of its sales, while WEA continue to handle distribution of its products.
[34]
1997?2003
[
edit
]
In 1997, LIVE was acquired by
Bain Capital
and was taken private. Though Burlage was retained as chairman initially, a new trio of executives took power: former
International Creative Management
agent Bill Block and former
October Films
partner Amir Malin became co-presidents, while former Bain Capital financial consultant Mark Curcio handled financial matters. Their goal was to utilize the large video library and the consistent profit from that area to invest in independent film production, which they saw as a market in flux in the wake of several notable independent film companies, including
Orion Pictures
,
Miramax Films
and others being subsumed into larger corporate organizations.
On December 18, 1997, LIVE entered into a domestic home video deal with
Hallmark Entertainment
to handle the distribution of products from its Hallmark Home Entertainment subsidiary, including
Crayola
-branded releases and
Hallmark Hall of Fame
movies. These releases would be distributed under Family Home Entertainment, while Hallmark Home Entertainment would retain marketing rights.
[35]
By 1998, products from Cabin Fever Entertainment were added to the deal after Hallmark purchased and folded the company in March of that year.
[36]
As part of a restructuring process, in April 1998, LIVE Entertainment was rebranded as Artisan Entertainment; the rebranding was in part motivated by LIVE's reputation for mediocre product and lingering memories of their connection to the Menendez brothers case.
[14]
In August 1998, the distribution deal with WEA has been expired and replaced by a new distribution deal with
20th Century Fox Home Entertainment
.
[37]
In addition to adding more theatrical releases, the company's home video subsidiary, Artisan Home Entertainment, continued to expand with more home video deals. The company began releasing products from
TSG Pictures
around this time, and by September 1998, Artisan signed a deal with
Spelling Entertainment Group
to distribute films from its
Republic Pictures
unit for home video release throughout a five-ten year period.
[38]
This was followed in October 1999 with a four-year home video deal with
Discovery Communications
to release programming from the
Discovery Channel
,
Animal Planet
and
TLC
networks through dedicated labels under Family Home Entertainment.
[39]
On February 10, 2000, Artisan acquired a minority stake in
The Baby Einstein Company
in exchange for a three-year North American home video distribution agreement for the
Baby Einstein
catalog.
[40]
The deal was eventually revoked early at the end of 2001 following
The Walt Disney Company
's purchase of The Baby Einstein Company.
In May 2000,
Marvel Studios
negotiated a deal with Artisan Entertainment for a co-production joint venture that included rights to 15 Marvel characters including
Captain America
,
Thor
, the
Black Panther
,
Iron Fist
, and
Deadpool
. Artisan would finance and distribute while Marvel would developing licensing and merchandising tie-ins. The resulting production library, which would also include TV series, direct-to-video films and internet projects, would be co-owned.
[41]
On September 13, 2000, Artisan launched
Artisan Digital Media
and
iArtisan
.
[42]
The last major deal Artisan undertook that year was their renewal of a distribution pact with Canadian media firm
Alliance Atlantis
, which included distribution rights to Artisan product in Canada, and theatrical distribution of Artisan films in Britain via AAC's
Momentum Pictures
unit.
[43]
In 2001, the company acquired Canadian film and TV company Landscape Entertainment.
[44]
In May 2003, Artisan and
Microsoft
jointly announced the first release of a
high definition
DVD
,
Terminator 2: Judgment Day
(Extreme Edition)
. The release was a promotion for the
Windows Media version 9 format
; it could only be played on a
personal computer
with
Windows XP
. Artisan had released the movie in 2002 on
D-VHS
.
In the summer of 2003,
Marvel Enterprises
placed an offer for Artisan, with then-Disney-owned and Weinstein-operated
Miramax Films
to provide backing for Marvel's bid.
[45]
[46]
On December 15, 2003,
Lions Gate Entertainment
Corporation acquired Artisan for $220 million
[47]
and video releases through Artisan have now been re-released under the
Lionsgate Home Entertainment
banner. After the sale, Artisan Entertainment, Inc. was renamed to
Lions Gate Entertainment, Inc.
