History

Mandalay Pictures was formed at the same time as the parent company Mandalay Entertainment in 1995 by Peter Guber, who was formerly head of Sony Pictures Entertainment and The Guber-Peters Company. At first, it struck an exclusive film and television deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment, which was releasing its films through the Columbia and TriStar distribution labels in most countries.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Summit Entertainment signed a deal with Mandalay to serve as its foreign sales agent, helping arrange output deals including Entertainment Film Distributors in the United Kingdom and Ireland, Village Roadshow in Australia, New Zealand and Greece, Constantin Film in Germany and Austria, SKC in South Korea, TriPictures in Spain and the Cecchi Gori Group in Italy.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

In 1998, Mandalay Pictures moved over from Sony Pictures to Paramount Pictures.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> At the same time, Mandalay struck a partnership with Lions Gate Entertainment to acquire the assets of Mandalay Entertainment.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The deal did not include the television division, which remained with Columbia TriStar Television.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> In September 1998, Mandalay signed a distribution deal with Canal+ and Pathé joint-venture C+P to handle distribution of Mandalay's films in the United Kingdom, France and Belgium/Luxembourg.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

In 2002, the deal was transferred from Paramount Pictures to Universal Pictures, and launched its international sales division.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> In November 2002, it was separated from Lions Gate Entertainment.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In 2004, Ori Marmur left Mandalay Pictures, and decided to join Original Film. Ironically, Original Film is producing the I Know What You Did Last Summer movies for Mandalay Pictures.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
