Picturehouse was a specialty film production company formed in 2005 as a joint-venture of New Line Cinema and HBO Films, both divisions of Time Warner. The company was formed from New Line and HBO's acquisition of the distribution arm of Newmarket Films and New Line's Fine Line Features specialty division. Its DVD releases were split between HBO Home Video and New Line Home Video.
After Time Warner's 2008 consolidation of New Line into Warner Bros., the Hollywood press believed that Picturehouse and Warner Independent Pictures would merge. [1] On May 8, 2008, however, it was announced that both of the specialty divisions would be shut down, costing 70 employees their jobs. [2]
