Village Roadshow Pictures

Village Roadshow Pictures is an American film production company founded in 1989. It was a division of Village Roadshow Entertainment Group (VREG), which in turn was majority-owned by Vine Alternative Investments and Falcon Investment Advisors, with the Australian company Village Roadshow holding a 2% minority stake.

The company had produced films, including as co-productions with Warner Bros., such as ''The Matrix'' series, ''Ocean's'' series, ''The Lego Movie'', ''Happy Feet'', ''Mad Max: Fury Road'', ''American Sniper'', ''Sherlock Holmes'', ''Cats & Dogs'', and ''Joker''. The films in the Village Roadshow library have achieved 34 No. 1 U.S. box office openings and won 19 Academy Awards (from 50 nominations) and six Golden Globe Awards.

Village Roadshow Pictures self-distributed its filmed entertainment through affiliates in several territories around the world, including Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore (the latter through Golden Village). JPMorgan Chase and Rabobank also provide funding for the company's film slate with Warner Bros. Village Roadshow Pictures had a second slate co-financing agreement with Sony Pictures, which ended in 2016. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2025, with its library sold to Alcon Entertainment for $417.5 million on 18 June 2025. Provided by Wikipedia
