Korte geschiedenis

Columbia Pictures is opgericht in 1920 als de CBC Sales Film Corporation door Joe Brandt, Harry en Jack Cohn. In 1989 werd Columbia Pictures door grootaandeelhouder The Coca-Cola Company verkocht, na het aandringen van aandeelhouders van Coca-Cola om zich meer op haar kernactiviteiten te richten. Columbia Pictures Industries (met TriStar Pictures) werd verkocht aan Sony Corporation en sindsdien is Columbia Pictures een onderdeel van Sony Pictures Entertainment, via de Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group.
