DreamWorks Home Entertainment

DreamWorks Home Entertainment was both a home media unit of DreamWorks Pictures as well as a banner for other home media units. It was formed on March 10, 1998. Its releases were initially distributed by Universal Studios Home Entertainment (at first through CIC Video internationally), but this deal ended after 2006. Paramount Pictures bought DreamWorks on February 1, 2006. Then, DreamWorks Home Entertainment was merged into Paramount Home Entertainment. It started being used as a label for films released under the live-action DreamWorks banner. However, that ended when it was shuttered in 2009. This is because DreamWorks spun itself off from Paramount and became an independent company.
