Background: Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. is an American film studio and production company that is a member of the Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group, a division of Sony Entertainment's Sony Pictures Entertainment, itself a subsidiary of the multinational conglomerate Sony and one of the major American film studios. It was headquartered in 1993 at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California.
Columbia Pictures was originally founded as "Cohn-Brandt-Cohn Film Sales" in 1918 by Harry Cohn, his brother Jack Cohn, and Jack's friend Joe Brandt. Brandt was president of CBC Film Sales, handling sales, marketing and distribution from New York along with Jack Cohn, while Harry Cohn ran production in Hollywood. Many of the studio's early productions were low-budget affairs; the start-up CBC leased space in a poverty row studio on Hollywood's Gower Street. Among Hollywood's elite, CBC's reputation led some to joke that "CBC" stood for "Corned Beef and Cabbage".
Following a reorganization, the Cohn brothers renamed the predecessor company as "Columbia Pictures Corporation" on January 10, 1924. Columbia's product line consisted mostly of moderately budgeted features and a short-subject program of comedies, serials, cartoons, and sports films. Columbia gradually moved into the production of higher-budget fare, building a reputation as one of Hollywood's more important studios. On December 23, 1968, it was reorganized as "Columbia Pictures Industries" after Columbia Pictures Corporation merged with its television division Screen Gems. On June 22, 1982, Columbia Pictures was sold to The Coca-Cola Company for $750 million, became part of Columbia Pictures Entertainment in December 1987 with Coke owning 49%, and since November 8, 1989, it's owned by Sony Corporation of Japan. Since 1998, it is part of the Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group, which is a division of Sony Pictures Entertainment, a subsidiary of the mentioned multinational conglomerate.
Columbia Pictures titles were distributed through a partnership with Warner Bros. under the name "Columbia-Warner" internationally until 1987 when Columbia reorganized its international distribution division into Columbia Tri-Star Films. The UK partnership would last until 1988.
Columbia Pictures used to have a distribution partnership with C.E.I.A.D. for the distribution of titles in Italy. This venture would be known as Columbia C.E.I.A.D. However in 1985, Columbia and C.E.I.A.D. parted ways which led to Columbia C.E.I.A.D. being dissolved and Columbia began distributing its titles on its own in that region. The unit also began distributing titles from Tri-Star in that region during that studio's early years.

this is interesting, I don't think I've ever seen a Columbia one that had such a high focus on the pre-70s logo. only thing stopping it from being truly great is that horrid watermark
