History

edit
See also: Groupe Canal § History

On 1 January 1987, Canal Productions was founded as a cinema film co-production subsidiary of the cable channel which had been established in November 1984, Canal . The subscription channel was co-founded by André Rousselet[2] and Pierre Lescure.[3][4] This was to reduce Canal 's dependence on the American major studios by building its own library that the pay-TV channel could use on their own channels and internationally.[2]

By December 1990, Canal Productions rebranded to Le Studio Canal , and released its first film, The Double Life of Veronique, by Krzysztof Kieslowski.[4] By the early 1990s, it became apparent that Canal was a major contributor to the French film industry, with its obligation to spend 10% of its income on French-made films, as well as being Europe's largest buyer of American film rights.[2] Canal also made investments in other companies. In 1991 it bought a five percent stake in the independent American studio Carolco Pictures.[2] However, in 1992, Le Studio Canal suffered financial difficulties after Carolco Pictures entered a corporate restructure.[citation needed]

StudioCanal's most notable productions from its early years include Terminator 2: Judgment Day, JFK, Basic Instinct, Cliffhanger, Under Siege, Free Willy, and the original Stargate movie. In those days, it was known as either Le Studio Canal or simply Canal .[citation needed]

Other films the company financed include U-571, Bully, and Bridget Jones's Diary. StudioCanal also funded the last third of David Lynch's film Mulholland Drive.[5] StudioCanal also financed French-language films, such as Brotherhood of the Wolf (which became the sixth-highest-grossing French-language film of all time in the United States) and Intimate Strangers. Films such as Terminator 2: Judgment Day which grossed US$519 million, Basic Instinct which grossed US$352 million and The Tourist which grossed US$278 million worldwide, have been big box-office hits for StudioCanal.[6][7][8]

In January 1996, Le Studio Canal made a $56 million bid for Carolco Pictures' library. 20th Century Fox, which had originally agreed to buy the library for $50 million, had dropped their bid to $47.5 million and ultimately dropped out of contention, making this acquisition Canal 's first foray into library acquisitions.[9][10]

Le Studio Canal 's original plan was to build a pan-European distribution network. They made their first known acquisition into a foreign market in 1997 when they bought a 20% minority stake in Germany's Tobis Film; they would later increase the stake to 60% in February 2000, renaming the company Tobis StudioCanal.[11]

On 1 December 1998, all of Canal film, television, music, video production activities, etc., were grouped into a new entity, Canal Image, which was rebranded as StudioCanal in 2000.[4]

In February 2000, Le Studio Canal Plus announced that in order for them to grow a European distribution network they've expanded their stake in German film distribution company Tobis bringing their stake to 60% and had renamed to Tobis Studio Canal Plus giving Le Studio Canal Plus their own German division and had launched a joint venture production subsidiary with the remaining 40% stake will continued to be owned by the co-founder of Tobis Kilian Rebentrost and French film distribution company Pathé with ex-PolyGram executive Haig Balian joining Tobis Studio Canal Plus as their co-managing director.[12]

In December 2000, StudioCanal announced that they've partnered with Italian public broadcasting company RAI under the latter's cinema division to launch a joint venture distribution company in Italy, marking StudioCanal's first entry into the Italian film production and distribution market.[13] The name for the joint venture Italian film distribution company was revealed by StudioCanal and Italian public broadcasting RAI under the latter's cinema division Rai Cinema the following year in May which was titled as 01 Distribution.[14]

In July 2001, StudioCanal announced that they've entered the Spanish film distribution industry by acquiring a 45% stake of leading Spanish film and television production and distribution company Sogepaq from Spanish pay television company Sogecable (Vivendi Universal owned 21% of Sogecable at the time) for $36.2 million, also giving the company a 73% controlling stake in its Spanish subsidiary StudioCanal España and a minority stake in the joint venture Warner Sogefilms.[15][16][17] One month later in August of that same year, StudioCanal announced that they've acquired a controlling 52% stake in French television production powerhouse Expand.[18]

In May 2002, StudioCanal announced that they've expanded their Italian operations by setting up their Italian in-house production outfit based in Rome named StudioCanal Urania that will produce StudioCanal's Italian films annually.[19]

In late-September 2002, StudioCanal announced that they and BAC Majestic had parted ways, terms of the deal included the sale of their joint venture distribution subsidiary Mars Distribution to StudioCanal, thrus giving the latter their own in-house international distribution division to distribute StudioCanal's movies in their home country of France whilst their sister joint venture distribution company BAC Distribution which was majority owned by StudioCanal would be splitten from Mars and will be shut down and revert to BAC Majestic.[20][21]

In July 2003, StudioCanal's parent company Canal under their division Studio Expand announced that they've sold their animation production subsidiary Ellipsanime to media entertainment conglomerate Média-Participations and had placed the acquired animation production subsidiary under their French-Belgian publishing arm Dargaud.[22]

In June 2004 following their sellout of Ellipsanime to Dargaud back in July 2003, StudioCanal's parent company Canal announced that they've sold their remaining Studio Expand assets which were Adventure Line Productions who was sold to Tele Images Group, DMD Productions, Calt and KM Production which was sold back to their founders (although the latter would eventually be reunited with Adventure Line four years later in 2008) and Starling was sold to American television production and distribution studio Sony Pictures Television.[23]

However, staff departures and its parent Vivendi Universal's debt forced StudioCanal to gradually sell off their interests in these companies:

  • Tobis StudioCanal was subject to a management buyout by CEO Kilian Rebentrost and shareholder Pathé in December 2002 and renamed back to Tobis Film, although the two companies maintained their business relations.[24][11]
  • Sogepaq was sold back to Sogecable in July 2003 for £48 million ($54.2 million).[25]
  • Mars Films split from StudioCanal in 2007 to become independent; StudioCanal would later buy a 30% stake in the company in September 2015 and begin controlling its library in August 2021.[26][27][28]

Three years later, StudioCanal announced that they're re-entered the international market by acquiring British film distributor Optimum Releasing in May 2006 as their first expansion into the United Kingdom, releasing their British film and television catalogue, including the EMI Films library, through the newly acquired company.[29] A year later in 2007, Optimum Home Entertainment and Lionsgate UK acquired Elevation Sales, a home entertainment sales and distribution company.[30][31]

In August 2007, StudioCanal announced that they've partnered with NBC Universal's international home entertainment division Universal Pictures International Entertainment (which their parent company Vivendi used to own Universal Pictures until 2004) to launch a joint venture home entertainment distribution subsidiary that would be France's leading home entertainment distributor which was called Universal Studio Canal Video which started it's operations the following year.[34]

In January 2008, StudioCanal announced that they've entered their second expansion into the international market with the acquisition of German-based film independent distributor Kinowelt, which had distributed StudioCanal's films there until then, marking a re-entry for StudioCanal into the German market.[35][4] Kinowelt also owned the DVD label Arthaus. Both Optimum Releasing and Kinowelt have since been merged into StudioCanal and both were rebranded as StudioCanal UK and StudioCanal GmbH respectively.[36]

In January 2012, StudioCanal expanded its European operations by acquiring a majority stake in Munich-based producer and distributor Tandem Productions, marking the company's first major move into television production.

StudioCanal currently[when?] owns the rights to over 30 television series, mostly produced by TANDEM Productions and Red Production Company, including The Avengers, Rambo: The Force of Freedom, Paranoid, Public Eye, Crazyhead, Take Two, Wanted Dead or Alive, The Adventures of Paddington (2019), and international rights to The Big Valley[citation needed]

Distribution

edit

Outside France, the British Isles, Australia, New Zealand and Germany, StudioCanal does not have a formal distribution unit per se, instead relying on other distribution studios and home video distributors to handle their titles. In North America for example, The Criterion Collection, Rialto Pictures, Lionsgate Home Entertainment, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (for the Embassy catalog), Universal Pictures (for co-productions), Shout! Studios and Kino Lorber distribute StudioCanal's back catalogue on DVD and Blu-ray Disc (in addition, Anchor Bay Entertainment and Image Entertainment previously owned several of their titles). Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has handled distribution of StudioCanal/Hoyts Distribution films in Australia and New Zealand on DVD and Blu-ray since early 2013.

From the 1990s to early 2000s, Warner Home Video formerly handled distribution of select StudioCanal titles through the Canal Image label in the United Kingdom on VHS and DVD until 2006 when StudioCanal opened its own distribution unit in the UK, with titles distributed through Optimum Releasing (via Universal Pictures Home Entertainment from 2006 to 2007 and Elevation Sales since 2007).[29]

StudioCanal had the European home video distribution rights to 550 titles from the Miramax library from 2011 to 2020,[76][77] when ViacomCBS bought a minority stake in Miramax.

On 13 October 2021, StudioCanal announced that its global distribution deal with Universal would expire in January 2022. Later that year, they started distributing their home media releases through Plaion Pictures in Germany. In early 2024, they started distributing their home media releases in France through ESC Distribution.[78]
