== Distribution ==
Outside [[France]], the [[British Isles]], [[Australia]], [[New Zealand]] and [[Germany]], StudioCanal does not have a formal distribution unit ''[[wikt:per se|per se]]'', instead relying on other distribution studios and home video distributors to handle their titles. In [[North America]] for example, [[The Criterion Collection]], [[Rialto Pictures]], [[Lionsgate Studios#Home Entertainment|Lionsgate Home Entertainment]], [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]] (for the Embassy catalog), [[Universal Pictures]] (for co-productions), [[Shout! Studios]] and [[Kino Lorber]] distribute StudioCanal's back catalogue on DVD and Blu-ray Disc (in addition, [[Anchor Bay Entertainment]] and [[RLJE Films|Image Entertainment]] previously owned several of their titles). [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment]] has handled distribution of StudioCanal/Hoyts Distribution films in Australia and New Zealand on [[DVD]] and [[Blu-ray]] since early 2013.

From the 1990s to early 2000s, [[Warner Bros. Home Entertainment|Warner Home Video]] formerly handled distribution of select StudioCanal titles through the ''Canal+ Image'' label in the United Kingdom on VHS and DVD until 2006 when StudioCanal opened its own distribution unit in the UK, with titles distributed through [[StudioCanal UK|Optimum Releasing]] (via [[Universal Pictures Home Entertainment]] from 2006 to 2007 and Elevation Sales since 2007).<ref name="variety2006">{{cite magazine|last=James|first=Alison|title=Studio Canal moves into Blighty |url=https://variety.com/2006/film/news/studio-canal-moves-into-blighty-1200505900/|magazine=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|access-date=2011-09-04|author2=Dawtrey, Adam |date=2006-05-07}}</ref>

StudioCanal had the European home video distribution rights to 550 titles from the [[Miramax]] library, shared with [[Lionsgate Films|Lionsgate]] in the UK and Ireland, from 2011 to 2020,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/businessweek/ap/financialnews/D9LALCDG3.htm|title=Lionsgate, StudioCanal to distribute Miramax films|publisher=BusinessWeek|date=February 11, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://finance.yahoo.com/news/Lionsgate-Studiocanal-and-prnews-2517243937.html?x=0|title=Lionsgate, Studiocanal and Miramax Enter Into Home Entertainment Distribution Agreements|publisher=Yahoo!
