Lions Gate Entertainment

Lions Gate Entertainment Corporation (også kendt under LIONSGATE) er et amerikansk underholdningsselskab, der blev etableret i 1995 og havde hovedsæde i Los Angeles og senere i Vancouver i Canada og har nu hovedsæde i Santa Monica, California, USA. I 2007 var selskabet det mest kommercielt succesfulde selvstændige film- og tv-distributionsselskab i Nordamerika.

Historie 
I 2005 annoncerede Lions Gate at de havde solgt deres canadiske distributionsrettigheder til Maple Pictures, der var blevet grundlagt af de to tidligere Lions Gate arbejdere, Brad Pelman og Laurie May.

Lions Gate Entertainments første store box office succes var med filmen American Psycho i 2000, hvilket begyndte en trend med at producerer og distribuerer de film, der var for kommercielle for de store amerikanske filmselskaber, der ikke ville producerer eller distribuere. 
Andre succesfulde film var bl.a. Affliction, Gods and Monsters, Dogma, Saw og Michael Moores dokumentar Fahrenheit 9/11, hvilket blev filmselskabets højest indtjente film.

Lions Gate Entertainment har introduceret en familiefilms-række, Lions Gate Family Entertainment. Den første film, der blev udgivet under dette navn var filmen The Spy Next Door. Lions Gate Family Entertainments logo blev lavet af John Powell. Lions Gate Family Entertainment vil komme til at udgive både normale spillefilm og animerede tegnefilm.
