	Games - TriStar Pictures

TriStar Pictures (spelled Tri-Star until 1991) is a subsidiary of Columbia Pictures, itself a subdivision of Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group, which is owned by Sony Pictures.

The idea for TriStar came about in 1982 when Columbia (then a subsidiary of Coca-Cola), HBO, and CBS, decided to pool resources to split the ever-growing costs of making movies. Their first release, in 1983, was The Natural. Their second movie was a flop remake of the 1960 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (who ironically would eventually become co-owned with Columbia and Tristar) picture, Where the Boys Are.

In 1989, all of Coke's entertainment holdings were acquired by Sony, who merged Columbia and TriStar, but continued to use the separate names. TriStar was relaunched in 2004 as a marketing and acquisitions unit that will have a "particular emphasis on genre films".
