Talk:Lionsgate

message: The article seems to be sending mixed messages as to the founding locale of Lions Gate, in the article it says it was founded in Los Angeles, but in the sidebar it states that it was founded in Vancouver. From what I remember, it was ORIGINALLY founded in Canada, in Vancouver (hence the name, named after the bridge in the same city), and the article should be changed to reflect this...
"Lions Gate is based in Vancouver, but does most of its business in Santa Monica, Calif. In his documents, Mr. Icahn says the company is trying to fend him off with plans to move out of Canada to the United States, where takeover rules are different. The company, he says, asked the B.C. Securities Commission to end its status as a “reporting issuer” in Canada."

thread_title: Country Of Origin

message: "...although both names refer to the same Vancouver landmark, the Lions Gate bridge."
The names may be taken from the bridge, but the bridge itself is named after the narrows (officially named "First Narrows) it passes over. The 'Lions', in turn, are two mountain peaks some 30 miles to the northwest, and were named after a fancied resemblance to the lion statuary in Trafalgar Square, England. Just to be absurdly complete, the original name of the 'Lions' mountain peaks was "The Two Sisters" as they were called by the native inhabitants long before.

thread_title: Origin of Name

message: Object. The two articles should not be merged. Lions Gate Entertaiment is a parent company, Lions Gate films is a subsidiary. We don't merge NBC or Universal Pictures into NBC Universal; we do not merge Paramount Pictures into Viacom; we do not merge MGM, Columbia Pictures or United Artists into Sony Pictures Entertainment; therefore we should not merge Lions Gate Films into Lions Gate Entertainment. - Davodd 22:22, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Should Transporter 3 be mentioned in the article? Saw their logo at the beginning of the film the other day. Actually, after looking into it, should we just include a link to :Category:Lions Gate Entertainment films Category:Lions_Gate_films or try to keep them /both/ up to date?

message: Lionsgate has an official Facebook and Twitter. They are not spam. The links are as follows: http://www.facebook.com/lionsgate, http://twitter.com/#!/lionsgatemovies
Since the company is a movie studio, they have some advertorial content on these sites. That doesn't make it spam, it's still a resource.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by LadyUranus (talk • contribs) 16:09, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

message: since the company has its main operations i.e. HQs in california and was founded in b.columbia thus the introduction most correctly reads " North American " 
canada is perfectly summed up in it as the company isn't exactly strictly "canadian only" anymore to have it called canadian for what it`s worth. canada should be merged with the U.S. likewise :D www.annexation.ca

message: Please stop mass removal of sourced information, King Shadeed.  Also, infoboxes are not for detail information about units.  There are such things as other articles that the reader can click through to find out or read the history text. Actually read the articles' sources regarding Lionsgate Films as a subsidiary corporation (Inc.): "Principal Subsidiaries:...Lions Gate Films Corp.; Lions Gate Films Inc.; Cinepix Film Properties (CFP) announced a name change yesterday, to Lions Gate Films Inc.

thread_title: Mass removal of sourced information

message: Shouldn't the page actually be for Lions Gate Entertainment, Inc., seeing as how THAT is the American company? From looking @ Lions Gate Entertainment, Inc.: Private Company Information - Businessweek, it would seem that Lions Gate Entertainment, Inc. is the U.S. entertainment company & Lions Gate Entertainment Corporation is simply a holding company. I mean, the page itself even describes Lions Gate Entertainment, Inc. as the U.S. holding company. The non-U.S. assets were probably owned by Lions Gate Entertainment Corporation. 76.235.248.47 (talk) 04:18, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rename the article to Lions Gate Entertainment, Inc. 

message: Dear fellow wikipedians,
I think after the merger completes there should be a wiki page for the combined entity similar to Activision-Blizzard and KraftHeinz.
Thanks you all.

thread_title:  Lionsgate-Starz wiki page post-merger. 

message: Recently noticed that the ownership parameter from the ibx was removed a while back at least two times now (the first one was reverted without a clear reason too). one of the reasons was the fact that Lionsgate is publicly traded, although other public traded companies such as Berkshire Hathaway and Paramount Global have their respective ownerships as Warren Buffet and National Amusements. another reason was that CNN lists a majority of shareholders via investment firms and not by the board chair, however, one thing I would like to note is MHR Fund Management, which was founded by Lionsgate board chair member Mark Rachesky, so technically he owns Lionsgate through this fund management firm, and this claim is fueled even more through Lionsgate's more recent proxy statement where it says that Mark owns at least 10% of the company which can be found at page 93 of the pdf. and another thing was the fact that last year, the parameter was listed as Mark Rachesky (controlling stake) Discovery, Inc. (3%) Liberty Global (3.5%), which was removed to just include Mark before it was removed altogether this year. if there is any other reason for the ownership to not be in the ibx please let me know. thank you.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrome Boy (talk • contribs) 12:55, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ownership 

message: technically, a "parent" company owns 51% or more voting/common stock of a company. AT&T only owns 2% of this company. Maybe we should move AT&T to owner? WiinterU (talk) 23:49, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
