Warner Bros.-Seven Arts, Inc. was formed in 1967, when Seven Arts Productions acquired Jack Warner's controlling interest in Warner Bros. for $32 million and merged with it. The deal also included Warner Bros. Records, Reprise Records and the B&W Looney Tunes library (plus the B&W non-Harman and Ising Merrie Melodies). Later that same year, Warner Bros.-Seven Arts purchased Atlantic Records. It became defunct in 1970.

History

Head of production was Kenneth Hyman, son of Seven Arts co-founded Eliot Hyman.

Sale to Kinney

Warner Bros.-Seven Arts was acquired in 1969 by Kinney National Company, who proceeded to delete "Seven Arts" from the company name, reestablishing it as Warner Bros. Due to a financial scandal over its parking operations, Kinney National spun off its non-entertainment assets in 1971 (as National Kinney Corporation) and changed its name to Warner Communications Inc., which has since merged with Time, Inc. to form Time Warner.
