Lions Gate Entertainment,[1] more often known as Lionsgate, is a Canadian-American motion picture and television company. It was formed in Vancouver in 1995, and is currently headquartered in Santa Monica, California.[2][3] As of 2007, it is the most commercially successful independent movie and television distribution company in North America.[4]

Lionsgate produces movies that major American studios would not accept because they are too controversial or too disturbing for major studios. Movies produced by Lionsgate include the Saw franchise, Kick-Ass and many other movies.
