The History of Orion Pictures

I look at the history of Orion Pictures, a studio that went from releasing multiple hits and Oscar winners to facing bankruptcy.

Yay, another Mr. Coat “History of Movie Studios” video! Maybe do one for Carolco next, or maybe Trimark, or Spyglass Media Group

[@VidtopiaEntertainment]

Actually KZbinr SCMediaWorks has done rise and fall videos for both Carolco and Orion Pictures, I recommend you check them out if want to learn more about Carolco and Orion.

Mr. Coat, Can you also do "The History of Buena Vista Home Entertainment?"

[@cg03studios73]

MGM also bought the Pre-1996 Polygram Filmed Entertainment Libary (including Nelson Entertainment, Embassy Entertainment, Hemdale, & Pre 1994 Castle Rock movies) the copyrights are now under Orion.

[@Father_of_Death]

Only the video rights to the Embassy and Castle Rock films are owned by MGM.

[@The_X-PO_Center]

Funny enough, Warner Bros. currently releases MGM's post-1986 library (including the Orion Pictures library, and the pre-1994 Castle Rock library) on home media as of this writing.

Speaking of MGM and United Artist, Now that Amazon owns MGM, wanna bet the Takes Two movie will be apart of the MGM/United Artist backlot catalog?

[@desireesmith3925]

And not to mention that Orion also had it's Television unit, Mainly for Paternity Court & Couples Court. Then there's also Compagnia Distribuzione Internazionale Which was sold in 1989.

[@Sandlot1992]

do one about the History of the rise and fall of Polygram Filmed Entertainment next!

[@VidtopiaEntertainment]

I’m down for that as that company is not as well documented on KZbin even though they’ve made some of the most iconic films of all time like An American Werewolf in London, and The Big Lebowski, and everybody nowadays knows them as the company that made Barney’s Great Adventure.

and yet Muppets Tonight referenced Great Balls of Fire Ad Nauseum in the Dennis Quaid episode

[@themasterofgaming4149]

Can you the history of STX Entertainment, Open Road Films, Broad Green Pictures and Aviron Pictures?

[@MrGabeanator]

i never heard of this studio till a few years ago

[@ryandt2623]

I still think you should do: "When Disney Bought ABC". And speaking of ABC, I think you should do a history of the Freeform TV channel, because ever since you did your: "When Michael Eisner Ran Disney" vid, and you brought up how in 2001, he bought the Fox Family channel and renamed it: "ABC Family", that made me curious about the history of the Freeform channel and how it went from being Fox Family, to being ABC Family, to being Freeform

[@carlbranch9100]

Can you do "The History of Buena Vista International"?

[@seanramsdell4117]

Orion was also responsible for Mac And Me

[@racheljackson4428]

Can you do a video on the history on Qubo?

[@ryandt2623]

Let us not forget that Orion tried to do their own version of: "ET", with: "Mac n Me"
