Foundation date 1 january 2000
Revolution Studios is an American motion picture studio founded in 2000 by Joe Roth, a former chairman of Walt Disney Studios and 20th Century Fox. Revolution was formerly a strategic partner of Sony Pictures Entertainment, which distributed and marketed Revolution's films. The company's film division shut down in October 2007, coinciding with the end of the six-year deal with Sony. Revolution Studios' first film was Tomcats and the last film was The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep.
Revolution currently produces a sitcom based on its film Are We There Yet? for TBS and a sitcom adaptation of Anger Management for FX.
Roth owned the controlling interest in Revolution. Other shareholders included Hollywood executives Todd Garner, Rob Moore, Tom Sherak and Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, as well as Sony Pictures, Starz Entertainment (which owns pay cable rights to its films), and 20th Century Fox. In June 2014, Roth announced that he had sold Revolution Studios to Fortress Investment Group for roughly $250 million.
In October 2014, Revolution Studios acquired the foreign rights and copyrights to the Morgan Creek Productions library. In 2015, Revolution acquired Cross Creek Pictures' 50% interests in Black Swan and The Ides of March. That year, Revolution began a partnership with Universal Pictures Home Entertainment to produce "non-feature" productions based on the former's properties. This deal does not, however, include Morgan Creek's library.
