List of TriStar Pictures films
This is a list of films produced and/or released by American film studio TriStar Pictures. The concept for TriStar Pictures was the brainchild of Victor Kaufman, a senior executive of Columbia Pictures (then a subsidiary of Coca-Cola),[1] who convinced the studio, HBO, and CBS, to pool resources to split the ever-growing costs of making movies, creating a new joint venture in 1982. On May 16, 1983, it was given the name Tri-Star Pictures (when the new company was formed and did not have an official name, the press used the code-name "Nova", but the name could not be obtained as it was being used as the title for the PBS science series).[2][3] It was the first new major Hollywood studio to be established since RKO Pictures was founded in 1928.[4]
