Majestic Films International was a British film-sales company, active from 1988 to 1996.
History[edit]
Majestic's founder, Guy East, was the sales director at Goldcrest Films before he left in 1988 to form this new company.[2] In its early years, Majestic was the sales representative for Academy Award for Best Picture winners Driving Miss Daisy (1989) and Dances with Wolves (1990).[2]
On 11 April 1992, East sold a majority stake in Majestic to Italian company Rizzoli/RCS Video while transitioning to a chief executive role.[3] Some time later, he soon partnered with Nigel Sinclair to form Intermedia.[4] In 1996, the company and its titles were acquired by Mel Gibson's Icon Entertainment.[1]
