'''TriStar Pictures, Inc.''' (spelled as '''Tri-Star''' until 1991) is an American [[film studio]] and [[production company]] that is a member of the [[Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group]],<ref name="Sony Entertainment" /> part of the multinational conglomerate [[Sony]]. It is a corporate sibling of Sony studio [[Columbia Pictures]].

TriStar Pictures was established on March 2, 1982, and founded by Victor Kaufman as '''Nova Pictures'''.

==History==
===Early era (1982–1987)===
The concept for Tri-Star Pictures can be traced to Victor Kaufman, a senior executive of [[Columbia Pictures]] (then a subsidiary of [[the Coca-Cola Company]]),<ref>{{cite web|url=https://vimeo.com/41496750|title=Victor Kaufman - Founding TriStar Pictures|work=Vimeo}}</ref> who convinced Columbia, [[HBO]], and [[CBS]] to share resources and split the ever-growing costs of making movies, leading to the creation of a new joint venture on March 2, 1982. On May 16, 1983, it was given the name Tri-Star Pictures (when the new company was formed and did not have an official name, the press used the code-name "Nova", but the name could not be obtained as it was being used as the title for the [[PBS]] [[Nova (American TV program)|science series]]<ref name="broadcasting19830516">{{cite magazine|date=1983-05-16|title=What's in a name|magazine=Broadcasting|page=102}}</ref><ref>Palmer, L.

On May 11, 1984, the studio's first produced film was released, ''[[The Natural (film)|The Natural]]'' starring [[Robert Redford]]. Tri-Star's first release, however, was the film, ''[[Where the Boys Are '84]]''; a 1984 [[remake]] of the 1960 [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]] picture, ''[[Where the Boys Are]]'' that was co-distributed on behalf of [[ITC Entertainment]] after [[Universal Studios|Universal]] rejected it; the film was a commercial flop.<ref>London, Michael.

''[[Sarasota Herald-Tribune]]'' (February 18, 1984).</ref>

Many of Tri-Star's productions were released on VHS by [[RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video]], [[HBO/Cannon Video]], or [[CBS/Fox Video]]. In addition, HBO owned exclusive cable distribution rights to the films, with broadcast television licenses going to CBS.<ref>Prince, S.

On May 8, 1984, Tri-Star Pictures secured North American distribution rights for the film ''[[Supergirl (1984 film)|Supergirl]]'' from [[Warner Bros.]], which enabled the film to be ready for distribution by Christmas 1984.<ref>{{Cite news|date=1984-05-09|title=Tri-Star To Distrib 'Supergirl', Not WB|page=5|work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]}}</ref> On May 15, 1984, the studio hit big through its association with [[Carolco Pictures]], with the distribution of second part of the Rambo franchise, ''[[Rambo: First Blood Part II]]'', which eventually became a smash hit for the studio the following year.<ref>{{Cite web|date=1985-08-21|title=SPARING RAMBO'S LIFE MADE SEQUEL POSSIBLE|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1985-08-21-ca-1281-story.html|access-date=2021-12-10|website=Los Angeles Times|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|date=1984-05-16|title=Tri-Star To Distribute Next Four Carolco Pics; 'Blood II' First Up|page=4|work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]}}</ref> The company once partnered with [[Producers Sales Organization]] to handle theatrical distribution of the PSO titles.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Harmetz|first=Aljean|date=1984-11-16|title=Producers Sales, Delphi in Merger (Published 1984)|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1984/11/16/business/producers-sales-delphi-in-merger.html|access-date=2021-02-23|issn=0362-4331}}</ref>

Tri-Star television was formed when the studio joined forces with [[Stephen J. Cannell]] Productions and [[Paul Junger Witt|Witt]]/[[Tony Thomas (producer)|Thomas]]/[[Susan Harris|Harris]] Productions and created a television distribution company called TeleVentures. Carolco would eventually expand its relations with Tri-Star Pictures and decide to distribute films such as ''[[Rambo III]]'' and ''[[Air America (film)|Air America]]''.

===Columbia Pictures Entertainment era (1987–1989)===
On December 21, 1987, Tri-Star Pictures, Inc. was renamed as Columbia Pictures Entertainment, Inc. when Coca-Cola sold its entertainment business to Tri-Star for $3.1 billion. Both studios continued to produce and distribute films under their separate names.<ref>KATHRYN HARRIS (September 2, 1987) [https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1987-09-02-fi-3400-story.html Coke, Tri-Star Confirm Plans for $3.1-Billion Deal] ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'', Retrieved on August 8, 2013</ref>

That year, once Coca-Cola sold its entertainment business, Tri-Star's television division was consolidated into a single operating entity with [[Columbia Pictures Television|Columbia]]/[[ELP Communications|Embassy]] Television to form a new incarnation of the [[Columbia Pictures Television]]. [[Merv Griffin Enterprises]] would continue to operate separately.<ref>{{Cite news|date=1987-10-19|title=Coca -Cola Entertainment and Tri-Star to merge TV units|work=[[Broadcasting & Cable|Broadcasting]]|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Magazines/Archive-BC-IDX/87-OCR/BC-1987-10-19-OCR-Page-0059.pdf|access-date=2021-09-08}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=1987-10-21 |title=Coke's EBS & Tri-Star Merge TV Biz, Forming Col Pictures TV |pages=512, 528 |work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]}}</ref>

===Sony era (1989–present)===
In 1989, Columbia Pictures Entertainment, Inc. was acquired by Japanese conglomerate [[Sony|Sony Corporation]], which re-merged Columbia and Tri-Star, but continued to use the separate labels. On July 11, 1990, Tri-Star Pictures dissolved and sold its venture in TeleVentures to Stephen J. Cannell Productions and TeleVentures became Cannell Distribution Co. Most of the series and the Tri-Star film packages that were distributed by TeleVentures were transferred to Columbia Pictures Television Distribution.<ref name="broadcasting19900716">{{cite magazine|date=1990-07-16|title=IN BRIEF|magazine=Broadcasting|page=110}}</ref> Sony Pictures Entertainment later revived TriStar Television as a television production banner in 1991 and merged with its sister television studio [[Columbia Pictures Television]] to form [[Columbia TriStar Television]] on February 21, 1994.<ref>[https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-02-11-fi-21622-story.html "TriStar President Expected to Head Combined Unit"].

In addition to its own slate, TriStar was the theatrical distributor for many films produced by [[Carolco Pictures]] (the rights to only one of its films, ''[[Cliffhanger (film)|Cliffhanger]]'', has been retained by TriStar). TriStar also theatrically distributed some [[FilmDistrict]] movies. In 1992, the deal with Carolco lapsed when TriStar, along with [[JSTV|Japan Satellite Broadcasting]] signed an agreement with [[Daniel Melnick|The IndieProd Company]] to distribute movies produced by the pact in order to fill the void.<ref>{{Cite web|last1=Frook|first1=John Evan|last2=Brennan|first2=Judy|date=1992-12-14|title=IndieProd pacts with JSB, TriStar for distrib'n, prod'n|url=https://variety.com/1992/biz/news/indieprod-pacts-with-jsb-tristar-for-distrib-n-prod-n-102051/|access-date=2021-12-10|website=Variety|language=en-US}}</ref>

Around summer 1998, SPE merged Columbia and TriStar to form the Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group, but just like Columbia Pictures Entertainment, both divisions continued producing and distributing films under their own names. Some of the movies slated to be released by TriStar, including ''[[Stepmom (1998 film)|Stepmom]]'' would go to its flagship label [[Columbia Pictures]] following the merger.<ref>{{Cite web|last1=Cox|first1=Dan|last2=Carver|first2=Benedict|date=1998-07-27|title=Post-'Godzilla'|url=https://variety.com/1998/film/news/post-godzilla-1117478844/|access-date=2021-12-10|website=Variety|language=en-US}}</ref>

[[File:TriStar logo.jpg|thumbnail|The TriStar logo used from 1993 to 2015.]]

TriStar's logo features a [[Pegasus]] (either stationary or flying across the screen). The idea came from executive Victor Kaufman and his family's interest in riding horses. The original logo was created with the assistance of [[Sydney Pollack]], who was an adviser at Tri-Star. The horse in the original filmed logo was the same one used in Pollack's film ''[[The Electric Horseman]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://vimeo.com/41496753|title=Victor Kaufman – Creating the TriStar Logo|work=Vimeo}}</ref>
