Maple Pictures Corporation is a Canadian film and home video distribution company. It was formed on April 25, 2005 when Lionsgate spun off its Canadian distribution arm to two former executives of Lionsgate who created Maple Pictures Corp. Maple Pictures is the official distributor for Lionsgate's films and video library throughout Canada.The Releases were distributed by Les Seville Pictures in Quebec and Alliance Films in Toronto.

Background

The company describes itself as a "genre-savvy independent film company making a mark on the industry through its grassroots acquisition, production and distribution of diverse and distinctive filmed entertainment". Maple also has an extensive home video catalogue, which was built up largely by Lions Gate Entertainment's acquisition of several other independent studios.

Recently in 2008 Maple Pictures acquired the rights to distribute Miramax films which Alliance Films lost acquisition to earlier in 2007.
