Hasnt Lions Gate just taken over a UK opperation? if so which company?DJ HEAVEN 14:31, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't think that the Tyler Perry block at the bottom of the page is necessary. I understand Perrys association with Lionsgate, but why not then include Michael Moore, Nicholas Cage, etc. I won't remove it but maybe it can be discussed here.

Contents 1 From Talk:Lions Gate Films 1.1 Merger with LGE 1.2 Lions Gate is now Lionsgate 1.3 Mentioning on Ultimate Avengers 1.4 Based in what?

[edit] From Talk:Lions Gate Films

Merge them.

Totally do it, makes sense since LG Entertainment is both a distribution and production company Cornell Rockey 02:25, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merger with LGE

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)

I agree – (empoor) 13:05, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Seconded. It'll be too confusing to put them in the same box. Crosslink, of course, but not merge. ErisRaven 06:08, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lions Gate is now Lionsgate

The company has officially changed the name of all its divisions to Lionsgate, hence no more "Lions Gate Films," "Lions Gate Music," etc. All relevant articles should be updated to reflect the new name.

The official company name still stays the same (Lions Gate Entertainment Corporation), so only the brand name has been changed to Lionsgate [1] – (empoor) 00:52, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Please correct this. They really operate under Lionsgate now – (empoor) 11:21, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mentioning on Ultimate Avengers

Both These direct to DVD Animated Features were produced by lionsgate home entertainment. This could be mentioned in the section for Home Video. Would it ok for it to be mentioned in the article? Or better yet, in the Home Entertainment link articleNathen

[edit] Based in what?

I'm confused—is Lionsgate Canadian or American? --(trogga) 22:29, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

• That's what I am also confused about. This article seems to contradict itself in regards to the nationality of the company. NorthernThunder 04:27, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

• As an employee of Lionsgate I can tell you that the company is and was originally a Canadian company and still has offices in Canada. However, the current company headquarters and main office is located in Santa Monica, CA.

I bought 3:10 to YUMA from Best BUY. Three weeks after I bought it, I decided to watch it. The DVD would not load on my Blu-Ray player. Since we could not find the sales slip. I bought a copy from Amazon.Com. I tried to play the DVD as soon as i received it. It would not load. I sent the DVD back to them and they sent me a replacement. This one would not work either. Today I visited Best Buy. They tried to load it on their player and it would not work. What is the problem. Have you had other problems with coding these DVD's? Please respond and advise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.60.33.75 (talk) 11:24, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
