Dow Jones Description
New Line Cinema celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2007. Founded by Co-Chairman and Co-CEO Bob Shaye, New Line began as a small distribution company in New York City. Shaye still runs New Line, along with Co-Chairman and Co-CEO Michael Lynne. Over the past 40 years, New Line has expanded to become a multi-media company with various profitable divisions, having created some of the most successful film franchises in history. Its most popular films include A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Mask, Austin Powers, Blade, Rush Hour, Elf and Wedding Crashers. The studio's The Lord of the Rings trilogy grossed nearly $3 billion at the worldwide box office, and over $3 billion in consumer spending in home entertainment and merchandising. In 2006, New Line earned over $1 billion in revenue, and its divisions in licensing and merchandising, music, international, television and home entertainment performed solidly. This year, the television division will produce The Real Wedding Crashers, a reality-based program for NBC based on the hit movie. New Line's licensing and merchandising unit partnered with SEGA to create a video-game adaptation of the highly-anticipated theatrical release The Golden Compass. Also, New Line joined Microsoft's Xbox Live video download service, where new release titles and library films will be available for digital rental in HD and standard definition. For its 40th anniversary year, New Line will release three major tent-pole franchises...
