New Line Cinema is a film studio owned by Time Warner, as a unit of Warner Bros.
The
studio got its start in 1967, built by Robert Shaye to show foreign and
art films to college campuses in America. The studio started off by
releasing several classic foreign films, as well as the works of John
Waters. Before long, it finally got to make its own film, Stunts in 1976; it was released in 1977 to critical apathy but marginal financial success.The Eighties started off as usual for New Line Cinema. It made a number of horror flicks (such as the original Evil Dead ), kept releasing foreign and art movies, and got hit hard with a financial dearth. It finally managed to strike gold in 1984, when it distributed A Nightmare on Elm Street,
which managed to be an instant success, no doubt helped by its
minuscule budget. In the following years, New Line Cinema kept hitting
hard with horror films and other fare.In 1994, New Line was
purchased by Turner Broadcasting, itself bought out by Time Warner two
years later. At first, it was kept separate from the studio's other
subsidiaries. However, when The Golden Compass tanked at the
American box office, it was decided that it would merge with Warner
Bros., which became official in 2008. However, WB still makes films
under the New Line Cinema name.The studio also ran arthouse
division Fine Line Features from 1990 until 2005, when it was replaced
by Picturehouse, a collaboration with sister company HBO,
but it didn't last long before the WB merger killed it off, along with
WB's own arthouse division, Warner Independent Pictures.
