Maple Pictures Corporation is the distribution arm of Alliance Films. It was formed on April 25, 2005 when Lions Gate Entertainment demerged to two companies -- Lions Gate Entertainment (formerly Artisan Entertainment) and Maple Pictures (formerly Lions Gate Films,and before 1998 Cinepix Film Properties). Maple Pictures is the official distributor for Lionsgate's films and video library throughout Canada. The Releases were distributed by Equinoxe Films 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.

In 2008 Maple Pictures acquired the rights to distribute Miramax films which Alliance Films lost acquisition to earlier in 2007. On June 24th 2011, Alliance Films bought Maple Pictures from Lions Gate Entertainment (Maple's former owner) for a sum of 38.5 million dollars.[1]
