Overture Films

Overture Films was an American independent film production and distribution company and a subsidiary of Starz (then subsidiary of Liberty Media). It was founded in November 2006 by Chris McGurk and Danny Rosett. Through its affiliated companies Anchor Bay Entertainment, Starz Entertainment Pay Channels, Starz Media, and Starz Play, Overture Films had made its films available worldwide to viewers across multiple platforms via their home video, premium television, and Internet distribution channels.

Although the studio had some minor critical and/or commercial successes with films like The Visitor, Sunshine Cleaning, Last Chance Harvey, Law Abiding Citizen, The Men Who Stare At Goats, The Crazies, and Let Me In, most of the company's films flopped, or those that didn't, merely broke even. Starz was forced to close the company in 2010, even though rumors had circulated earlier that year that it would be sold off. Its marketing and distribution assets are now handled by Relativity Media.
