Background: Imperial Entertainment was founded in 1987 as a joint venture between Danish film company Scanbox Entertainment and the Shah brothers (Sundip R. Shah, Sunil R. Shah, and Ash R. Shah). In the early 1990s, Scanbox bought the remaining shares of Imperial. Imperial released several independent films on video before going into production and making their own films. Later titles were distributed by WarnerVision, and later on through Scanbox/Lions Gate's Sterling Home Entertainment. In 1997, Imperial was absorbed into Scanbox International. The following year, Sunil Shah left Scanbox to create a distribution company in Poland while his brothers left the company two years later. Scanbox was sold to VCL in 2000. As of 2013, Imperial's catalog is distributed by Moonstone Entertainment.
