Background

Cinecom Pictures was established in 1982 by Ira Deutchman (formerly of United Artists Classics), Amir Malin, and John Ives. In 1990, the company formed a joint venture with Odyssey Distributors before filing for bankruptcy and closing up shop the following year. Most of the Cinecom catalog now sits with MGM which owns the Epic library under the pre-1996 PolyGram Filmed Entertainment library.
