Entertainment One Films (UK)

Entertainment One UK Limited (trading as eOne UK) is a British entertainment company originally founded in 1994 as Contender Limited, which expanded from home video distribution into film distribution and television production. Acquired by Entertainment One (now Lionsgate Canada) in 2007, the company became one of the UK and Ireland's most prolific independent film distributors before shutting down its UK theatrical distribution operation in July 2023 under Hasbro's ownership. Following the sale of eOne's film and TV business to Lionsgate in December 2023, the company's remaining unscripted television branch (including Daisybeck Studios) was consolidated into the newly formed Lionsgate Alternative Television, while eOne UK Limited remains active as a registered legal entity at Companies House. Since 2023, the company has exited the physical media and theatrical markets.
