About Columbia Pictures

• The studio was first founded in 1919 as Cohn-Brandt-Cohn. Their first films were very low budget but then they changed their name to Columbia pictures are buying Brandt out of the business. They then became public two years later. The company then began to go from the 1920’s. In 1982 Coca-cola purchased the studio. In the same year they launched TriStar Pictures and then five years later they merged both of the companies to then become Columbia Pictures Entertainment. Finally in 1989 Sony brought the combined studios and it has continued to be owned by them.

The films that Columbia produce are of all different genre’s (as you can see from the slide before). They appeal to all different target audiences so they have a broad range of audiences and viewers. They try to produce a different genre of film each time one is released so they don’t have the same genre of film released after one another. They combine different genre’s with each other as lots of their films are a combination to keep them up to date and appealing to their audiences.
