Nelson Entertainment was a Los Angeles-based subsidiary of Nelson Holdings International Ltd., a Vancouver, Canada, holding company formed in 1985 by British film producer Barry Spikings and Richard Northcott, a British financier who amassed his fortune from a chain of hardware and furniture stores.[1]

In 1991, Nelson Entertainment was acquired by New Line Cinema. By 1994, Nelson had been acquired by Crédit Lyonnais' Consortium de réalisation. CDR sold its film library to PolyGram Filmed Entertainment in 1997,[2] then Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer acquired PolyGram's pre-April 1996 library in October 1998.[3] Therefore, MGM now owns most of the Nelson Entertainment library. Due to a previous agreement with Viacom Enterprises, Paramount Pictures via Trifecta Entertainment and Media holds the television rights to the Nelson library.
