Maple Pictures Corporation was a Canadian–American film distribution company founded on April 13, 2005 when Lionsgate demerged to two companies—Lions Gate Entertainment and Maple Pictures (formerly the original incarnation of Lionsgate Films).[1][2][3] Maple Pictures was the official distributor for Lionsgate's films and video library throughout Canada.
Through several ownership changes, Alliance Films acquired Maple from Lionsgate in 2011, which was in turn sold to Entertainment One in 2013, which was itself acquired by Hasbro in 2019. Lionsgate, through its acquisition of eOne, reacquired the trademarks of Maple Pictures from Hasbro in 2023.
