The article seems to be sending mixed messages as to the founding locale of Lions Gate, in the article it says it was founded in Los Angeles, but in the sidebar it states that it was founded in Vancouver. From what I remember, it was ORIGINALLY founded in Canada, in Vancouver (hence the name, named after the bridge in the same city), and the article should be changed to reflect this...

"Lions Gate is based in Vancouver, but does most of its business in Santa Monica, Calif. In his documents, Mr. Icahn says the company is trying to fend him off with plans to move out of Canada to the United States, where takeover rules are different. The company, he says, asked the B.C. Securities Commission to end its status as a “reporting issuer” in Canada."

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

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.

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)[reply]

"...although both names refer to the same Vancouver landmark, the Lions Gate bridge."

The names may be taken from the bridge, but the bridge itself is named after the narrows (officially named "First Narrows) it passes over. The 'Lions', in turn, are two mountain peaks some 30 miles to the northwest, and were named after a fancied resemblance to the lion statuary in Trafalgar Square, England. Just to be absurdly complete, the original name of the 'Lions' mountain peaks was "The Two Sisters" as they were called by the native inhabitants long before.

Really, dude. – AndyFielding (talk) 08:42, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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

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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

All of that is true, but according to the copyright to LGF's site and the New York Stock Exchange, it's still respectively known and spelled as "Lions Gate Entertainment Corporation". Only the film, television, home entertainment, and music divisions are spelled as "Lionsgate". King Shadeed 0:22, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

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 article

Should Transporter 3 be mentioned in the article? Saw their logo at the beginning of the film the other day. Actually, after looking into it, should we just include a link to Category:Lions Gate Entertainment films Category:Lions_Gate_films or try to keep them /both/ up to date?

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

• 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)[reply]

• 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.

• Just because it's head offices are in California does not mean it's an American company. Lionsgate is still a Canadian company until they state otherwise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmacgrath (talk • contribs) 03:35, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Is Bella also distributed by Liongate? Why is it not on the list? Chimeric Glider (talk) 03:26, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lions gate is the owner of boy meets world right? so is it coming out on DVD full set!?!? PLEASE i love this TV series!!! and If it does would it come out in Australia!?!? As it was one of my favourite TV shows growing up!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.17.123.154 (talk) 08:53, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect, Lionsgate Home Entertainment only has DVD rights. The series is still owned by ABC Studios. King Shadeed 22:50, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

at the time disney bot out marvel, lionsgate was in the process of making movies (cartoon) for marvel what happened because of this

Lionsgate has an official Facebook and Twitter. They are not spam. The links are as follows: http://www.facebook.com/lionsgate, http://twitter.com/#!/lionsgatemovies Since the company is a movie studio, they have some advertorial content on these sites. That doesn't make it spam, it's still a resource. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LadyUranus (talk • contribs) 16:09, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mexico is also part of North America. —Mike Allen 10:01, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

that is certainly true mike, however mexico has half of its territory on what is geographically speaking central america. plus we all know that there are huge differences culturally between mexico (the part of it that actually rests on the north american plate) and the upper part of NA`s landmass and its inhabitants. (albeit relatively fading in recent times but still) canada and the u.s, are on the other hand as close to being identical as can be (except for artificially created political circumstances) anyways, to not get carried too much away and stay on topic, "North American" is the most correct for a basic description of the company and its origin with regards to where it was founded and where it has its HQs and operations and is registered.

if you are north american and interested in the future of your country please go and see www.annexation.ca

Since I've seen a little speculation, I've found LGF's foundation dates:

http://investors.lionsgate.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=62796&p=irol-faq

To clear things up, according to Lions Gate, it was originally founded on May 26, 1986 as Beringer Gold Corp. and was renamed to Lions Gate Entertainment Corporation on July 3, 1997.

King Shadeed 19:18, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

The movie Saw was created in 2004 and created the last one on 2011. Now Lions Gate Entertainment confirmed Saw 8 to be release the year 2014.

Please stop mass removal of sourced information, King Shadeed. Also, infoboxes are not for detail information about units. There are such things as other articles that the reader can click through to find out or read the history text. Actually read the articles' sources regarding Lionsgate Films as a subsidiary corporation (Inc.): "Principal Subsidiaries:...Lions Gate Films Corp.; Lions Gate Films Inc.; Cinepix Film Properties (CFP) announced a name change yesterday, to Lions Gate Films Inc. Spshu (talk) 20:28, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't the page actually be for Lions Gate Entertainment, Inc., seeing as how THAT is the American company? From looking @ Lions Gate Entertainment, Inc.: Private Company Information - Businessweek, it would seem that Lions Gate Entertainment, Inc. is the U.S. entertainment company & Lions Gate Entertainment Corporation is simply a holding company. I mean, the page itself even describes Lions Gate Entertainment, Inc. as the U.S. holding company. The non-U.S. assets were probably owned by Lions Gate Entertainment Corporation. 76.235.248.47 (talk) 04:18, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
