About Lionsgate Films

Lionsgate made The Hunger Games, John Wick and the Saw pictures, and built its early reputation distributing films the major studios would not touch, including Fahrenheit 9/11 after Disney refused to release it. Its strategy of buying film libraries rather than building one slowly gave it a catalogue of more than twenty thousand titles, which is the bulk of what the company is worth.
