Momentum Pictures was a film distributor owned by Entertainment One, a subsidiary of Lionsgate Studios.

[1] Two years later, its interest was sold off to German distributor Kinowelt,[2] and took on the name Momentum Pictures in 2000.

The Momentum brand was revived in 2015 as part of a venture with Orion Pictures to jointly acquire films for distribution in North America and international markets.

[4] The studio has also released several family films, such as Hoodwinked!, The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (co-distributed with United International Pictures as part of a two-year agreement), Arthur and the Invisibles and Igor, as well as the home video rights for popular TV series Creature Comforts.

In February 2011, Momentum Pictures won eight BAFTA awards, more than any other UK distributor.
