About Lions Gate Entertainment CORP

Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. /CN/ (ticker: LGF.B) is a U.S.-listed entertainment content company, now most closely associated with the NYSE following the separation of its studio and STARZ businesses. The company’s roots are in North American film and television production, and over time it has built a substantial library of motion picture and television content while maintaining a studio culture centered on intellectual property, franchise value, and disciplined monetization. Its operational footprint is tied to Santa Monica, California, with an additional presence in Vancouver, British Columbia, underscoring a cross-border structure spanning the United States and Canada.

Management has described the business as releasing 30 to 40 films annually, including roughly a dozen wide theatrical releases, while also producing more than 100 scripted and unscripted TV shows. The company also manages a library of more than 20,000 titles and owns a talent management and production platform through 3 Arts Entertainment.

Key brands include John Wick, The Hunger Games, Twilight, Saw, Dirty Dancing, and Now You See Me, which support theatrical releases, licensing, library monetization, and downstream distribution across platforms. ([shop.lionsgate.com](https://shop.lionsgate.com/?utm_source=openai)) Geographically, the business remains heavily exposed to the United States, but its revenue opportunities are global through international distribution, licensing, and partnerships with broadcasters and streaming platforms. The company’s U.S./Canada operating structure continues to be visible in its corporate and production footprint.

The May 2025 separation from STARZ was the defining strategic event, simplifying the equity story and repositioning Lionsgate as a standalone public content company. In January 2026, the board appointed former U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, adding financial and governance experience at a time when the company is refining its post-separation profile. Lionsgate has also scheduled its fiscal 2026 fourth-quarter and full-year earnings release for after market close on May 21, 2026.
