Background

Cinema Group Pictures was founded by William J. Immerman in the late 1970s. It bought home video distributor Continental Video in 1985. It was later absorbed into Overseas FilmGroup. In 1987, Andre Blay and Elliott Kastner later joined the company for a brief period of time and rebranded to Palisades Entertainment in December of that year. The company sold off its distribution business in 1988.
