Triumph Films
Triumph Films (also known as Triumph Releasing Corporation) is a division of Sony Pictures Entertainment geared towards theatre and direct-to-video film production and distribution.
History
It was originally founded in 1982 as a joint venture between Columbia Pictures and the French company Gaumont to distribute foreign films in the US. On March 24, 1988, Columbia Pictures revived Triumph.[1] In 1989, Triumph distributed films by Crédit Lyonnais' Epic Productions Inc. (Not to be confused with Epic Records).[2] On November 23, 1994, Triumph Releasing Corporation was renamed to Sony Pictures Releasing Corporation,[1] and the Triumph name was spun off as Triumph Films. After being shut down in 1997, the Triumph Films label was re-activated in 2003. Eventually, the label turned dormant in 2008 and became an in-name-only division of Sony Pictures Releasing Corporation.[1] In 2014, the label was revived yet again for the release of The Remaining.
Notable films include To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday, The Ambulance, Brainscan, Magic in the Water (co-released by TriStar Pictures), The Golden Laws, Steamboy and the critically panned SuperBabies: Baby Geniuses 2.
