The story

Founded by Samuel Goldwyn Jr. in 2000.1

After The Samuel Goldwyn Company was acquired by Orion Pictures Corporation in 1996 and by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1997, Samuel Goldwyn Jr. founded Samuel Goldwyn Films as an independent production/distribution studio. Until his death, Goldwyn owned sole rights to the use of the name and signature logo as part of the settlement of his 1999 lawsuit against Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, which changed its Goldwyn subsidiary's name to G2 Films. Goldwyn previously operated IDP Distribution, which distributed films for Fireworks Films, Stratosphere Entertainment, and Roadside Attractions.
