TriStar Pictures: movies and series

Studio history of TriStar Pictures

TriStar Pictures is a film company, so let's get right to it. TriStar Pictures is a subsidiary of Sony Pictures Entertainment, part of the Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group, and was founded in May 1983. It emerged in 1982 from an alliance between Columbia, HBO and CBS, which shared production costs; its first release was *The Natural* (1984). After CBS and HBO left, it merged with Columbia Pictures into Columbia Pictures Entertainment. Later, Sony folded it into Columbia TriStar, although both brands continued to produce and distribute films separately. It also distributed many films from Carolco Pictures.
