New Line Cinema, founded in
1967, is major film studios United States
film studios. Though it initially began as an independent film studio, it is currently a
subsidiary of Time Warner. The current co-Chairman of the Board and co-CEOs are founders Robert Shaye and
Michael Lynne.
New Line Cinema operates several divisions, including
Distribution (business),
marketing, home video, and a unit specializing in
independent film called Picturehouse (formerly known as Fine Line Features) with fellow Time Warner subsidiary HBO.
Unlike other independent studios such as
Orion Pictures, Carolco Pictures, or Cannon Films, New Line Cinema has grown and prospered to become one of Hollywood's major film studios, culminating in the hit The Lord of the Rings film trilogy that brought prestige to the studio. Prior to this, New Line was responsible for the cult classic
Dark City (1998 film), the
Austin Powers series, the fantasy
Pleasantville (film), the
Nightmare on Elm Street series, the films of John Waters, and the
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films.
One of the company's early successes was its distribution of the parodic 1936 anti-Cannabis propaganda film
Reefer Madness, which became a cult hit on American college campuses in the early 1970s. The studio has also released many of the films of John Waters (filmmaker) (not including
Cry-Baby which was released by Universal Pictures).
A Nightmare on Elm Street was New Line's first commercially-successful series, leading the company to be nicknamed "The House that
Freddy Krueger Built".
In 1994, New Line Cinema was acquired by
Ted Turner's Turner Broadcasting System, which then merged with Time Warner in
1996. While fellow Turner-owned studios
Hanna-Barbera and Castle Rock Entertainment eventually became absorbed into
Warner Bros. (though Castle Rock operates today as a subsidiary of WB), New Line was kept as its own entity.
In 2007, New Line Cinema and
Castle Rock Entertainment collaborated on
Fracture (film), their first joint venture since the mid-1990s before both companies were bought by Turner.
Outside the US, New Line does not distribute its own films. Rather, it contracts other studios (like Entertainment Film Distributors in the UK, Warner Bros. in German-speaking areas,
Singapore,
Poland, and the
Czech Republic,
Village Roadshow Pictures in
Australia and New Zealand,
Alliance Atlantis in Canada) and Playarte (many times) in (
Brazil) to distribute its product overseas.
For a number of years, the studio's video releases were distributed in the US by RCA-Columbia Pictures Home Video (now
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment). New Line Cinema celebrates its 40th Anniversary at the same logo on October 5, 2007. The number is written "40" in white Edwardian Script ITC font, The letters "th" flashes in the same logo, the words "ANNIVERSARY" fades in on the bottom of the words "40th" in red Rockwell font at the end.
