[1][8] In 2006 Artificial Eye became a part of Curzon World, a group of companies in the film entertainment industry which also includes the Curzon chain of 13 cinemas plus eight joint venture cinemas,[9] video on demand service Curzon Home Cinema, the retail DVD distributor Fusion Media Sales, and horror film distributor Chelsea Films (launched in 2010).
[13] In April 2024, Curzon announced that it would revive the storied Artificial Eye label, dormant for nearly a decade, for arthouse and indie films curated by Curzon's acquisitions team with a special focus on world cinema.
The first release under the relaunched banner will be the Berlinale title My Favourite Cake, with a rebranded look debuting with the film.
Fortress then requested the New York Supreme Court to grant a motion for a foreclosure sale, which was later set for November 8 that year.
Fortress was reportedly the only bidder for Curzon and related entities, initially offering $5 million to acquire the company.
