Background : New Line Cinema established its own video label as "New Line Home Video" (now "New Line Home Entertainment") in 1990 and started releasing its videos the following year through RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video, which became Columbia TriStar Home Video (now "Sony Pictures Home Entertainment") and later Turner Home Entertainment after Turner acquired NLC on January 28, 1994. Laserdisc releases were distributed by Image Entertainment. New Line's acquisition of Nelson Entertainment in 1991 enhanced its home video library, and distributed some Castle Rock Entertainment films and reissued several former Embassy Home Entertainment titles in addition to the main studio's selections. It is currently a subsidiary of Time Warner throughWarner Home Video.
