Starz Distribution

Starz Distribution (originally named IDT Entertainment and Starz Media) is an American production company that produces films for adults, some films for families and TV shows for children. Founded in 2003, it is owned by the Starz, Inc. subsidiary of Lionsgate.

History
The company was founded in 2003.

In May 2004, IDT Entertainment purchased a minority share in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POW!_Entertainment POW! Entertainment] with exclusive distribution rights to POW's animated DVD properties and joint development of 6 cartoon films. In 2005, IDT signed a deal with 20th Century Fox (now 20th Century Studios).

On February 7th 2005, the company started producing Wubbzy. (episodes were produced on this date.)

On May 16, 2006, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDT_Corp. IDT] agreed to sell its IDT Entertainment division to Liberty Media "for all of Liberty Media's interests in IDT, $186 million in cash and the assumption of existing indebtedness."

On August 31, 2006, the sale of all of IDT Entertainment's US operations and several international operations was completed. "The remainder of the deal, to include the Canadian and Australian operations, is expected to be closed in the next few weeks after regulatory approval has been given." This sale was completed on September 29, 2006.

On January 4, 2011, The Weinstein Company purchased a 25% stake in the operating unit. While not including TV rights, the deal spans Blu-ray, DVD and VOD, pay-per-view and digital distribution and covers up to 20 TWC and Dimension titles per year. They include The King's Speech, Blue Valentine and Company Men. Starz acquired the 25% stake owned by Weinstein in October 2015.

On January 11, 2013, Liberty Media Corporation completed the "spin-off" of its Starz Entertainment segment as a separate entity. Under this new structure, the entity that was known as "Starz Media" became Starz Distribution.

On November 12, 2015, Waterman Entertainment purchased Film Roman.

On December 8, 2016, Lionsgate purchased Starz Inc. for $4.4 billion
