History
Formed by
Over the next two years, Picturehouse released features such as Robert Altman's A Prairie Home Companion, starring Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin; Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth, which was acquired at script stage and went on to earn six Academy Award nominations and wins in three categories; La Vie en Rose, which garnered Marion Cotillard an Academy Award for Best Actress;[3] and Sergei Bodrov's Genghis Khan biopic Mongol, a nominee for Best Foreign Language Film.[4]
In 2008, Time Warner's consolidation resulted in Warner Bros. exiting the independent business to concentrate on big-budget "tentpole" releases. This prompted the closure of marketing and distribution operations at both New Line Cinema and Picturehouse, costing 70 employees their jobs.[5]
In 2013, Berney and his wife Jeanne acquired the Picturehouse logo and trademark from Warner Bros. and relaunched the label as an independent theatrical distribution company.[6] Initial releases included Adriana Trigiani's Big Stone Gap, starring Ashley Judd, and Christian Keller's Gloria, with Sofía Espinosa.
In August 2020, the company released
