  • StudioCanal Image S.A. (aka Le Studio Canal+, Canal Plus, Canal + Distribution, Canal + Production, and Canal+ Image), is a French-based production and distribution company that owns the third-largest film library in the world. The company was founded in 1988 by Pierre Lescure. The original function was to focus on French and European productions. Over the next ten years, StudioCanal began to acquire film libraries from studios that either went defunct or had merged with StudioCanal. It was not very long before StudioCanal began co-producing films such as U-571 (2000), Bully (2001), and Bridget Jones's Diary (2001). StudioCanal also funded the last third of David Lynch's film Mulholland Drive. StudioCanal also financed French-language films, such as Brotherhood of the Wolf (which became the second-highest-grossing French-language film in the United States in the last two decades) and Intimate Strangers (which is being remade by Hollywood-based Paramount Pictures). Today, StudioCanal is a division of Vivendi SA, and has a catalogue that includes the film libraries of Carolco Pictures, DeLaurentiis Entertainment Group, Embassy Pictures, the Alexander Salkind pictures not owned by Warner Bros. , the EMI Films library (Highlander, Death on the Nile, etc. , but not including US rights to certain co-productions -- US rights to such films as Close Encounters of the Third Kind and The Deer Hunter are owned by other major studios, usually the original releasing studio) and the Lumiere Pictures and Television output. Outside France, StudioCanal does not have a formal distribution unit per se, relying on other studios and video companies to handle their product, in the US for example, studios such as Anchor Bay Entertainment, Lions Gate Entertainment, Image Entertainment,Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Universal Pictures,distribute StudioCanal's back catalogue on Video and DVD. StudioCanal acquired UK-based distributor Optimum Releasing in 2006.
  • StudioCanal est la société de production, d'acquisition et de distribution de films de cinéma, de musiques de films et de programmes de télévision du groupe Canal+. Elle a été créée sous ce nom en 2000 et succède à Canal+ Production, créée en 1988. Studio Canal dispose d'un catalogue de 5000 titres français, anglais, américains et allemands. Son chiffre d'affaires est de l'ordre de 400 millions d'euros. Elle opère en Allemagne via sa filiale Kinowelt et en Grande Bretagne via Optimum Releasing.
  • StudioCanal (conosciuta anche come Le Studio Canal+, Canal Plus, Canal + Distribution e Canal+ Image) è una casa di produzione e distribuzione cinematografica con sede in Francia che possiede il terzo catalogo di film più grande del mondo. L'azienda è stata fondata nel 1996 da Pierre Lescure con lo scopo iniziale di lavorare su produzioni francesi ed europee. Nei successivi quattro anni StudioCanal ha iniziato l'acquisizione di altre case di produzione e dei cataloghi cinematografici di case di produzione sciolte. In breve tempo StudioCanal ha co-prodotto film del calibro di U-571 (2000), Bully (2001), e Il diario di Bridget Jones (2001). Oggi StudioCanal è una divisione di Vivendi SA e il suo catalogo comprende film della Carolco Pictures, della Embassy Pictures, di Alexander Salkind, della EMI films e dalla Lumiere Pictures. In Nord America StudioCanal non possiede una unità di distribuzione propria ma si affida ad altri studi di produzione per distribuire i propri prodotti.
  • StudioCanal is de grootste Franse filmstudio en tevens een afdeling van Vivendi SA. De studio bezit het op twee na grootste filmarchief in de wereld. StudioCanal is in 1990 opgericht door Canal+ als Canal+ Production. In 1990 werd het bedrijf hernoemd naar Le Studio Canal+ en in 2000 werd Le Studio Canal+ gefuseerd met Canal+ Distribution (Canal+ DA) om uiteindelijk StudioCanal te worden. Oorspronkelijk was StudioCanal opgericht om alleen Franse en Europese producties te produceren en/of te distribueren. Maar in 2000 kreeg het bedrijf, door een fusie met Canal+ Distribution (dat zelf door verschillende fusies en door meerdere keren filmarchieven over te nemen van filmhuizen die net failliet waren gegaan een gigantische filmbibliotheek opbouwde) de op twee na grootste filmbibliotheek in de wereld verkregen. Hierdoor werden zij ook actief in het produceren van films die ook succesvol buiten Frankrijk en Europa waren. Zoals Billy Elliot, Bully en Bridget Jones's Diary. StudioCanal bezit de filmarchieven van onder andere Carolco Pictures, Embassy Pictures, Alexander Salkind-films (die welke niet in handen zijn van Warner Bros. ), EMI Films en Lumiere Pictures and Television. In Noord-Amerika heeft StudioCanal geen eigen distributietak, waardoor zij voor de distributie van hun films en televisieproducties afhankelijk zijn van grotere filmstudio's. In het verleden werden veel StudioCanal-films door Universal Studios in Noord-Amerika gedistribueerd, aangezien het toen nog onderdeel van Vivendi Universal was, maar sinds de fusie van Universal Studios in 2004 met NBC is Universal niet meer de primaire distributeur van de films.
