The Hollywood studio formed in 1924 sold its pre-May 1986 library to Turner, so its current catalogue is post-1986 MGM plus United Artists, Orion and Samuel Goldwyn titles. Amazon bought it in 2022 and folded it into Amazon MGM Studios. Fox handled its discs until 2020 and Warner Bros. after that; Alliance Entertainment took over North American distribution in January 2026, and Plaion covers German-speaking Europe.
