Background

Morgan Creek Entertainment Group (formerly known as Morgan Creek Productions) is a production company founded by former auto import worker James G. Robinson in 1987. The name of the company comes from the 1944 movie The Miracle of Morgan's Creek. Some of its most successful films include the Ace Ventura films and the Young Guns films. Its films were distributed (at least in North America) by 20th Century Fox from 1988-1990 (however, Renegades and Coup De Ville were from Universal and Major League was from Paramount), Warner Bros. from 1991-2004 and Universal from 2005-2011 (Warner distributed Ace Ventura, Jr. from 2009, international rights to Dream House, whilst Universal had US rights, and All Eyez on Me was distributed by Summit Entertainment). The rights were acquired by Revolution Studios in 2014, with sales handled by Miramax. Video rights now rest with Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

Nicknames: "The Creek V", "CGI Creek IV", "3-D Creek IV"

Logo: On a black background, the camera eases by with a shimmering river with the blue land shining by as the screen scrolls past the river until revealing it's on the box, like the past three logos. As the blue box tilts backwards, the words "MORGAN" and "CREEK" fly in (like the effects of the company name seen on the 1991 logo). The logo shines one more time before fading out.

Variant: The television version has the logo easing out.

FX/SFX: Another redo of the previous logos with impressive animation and elements that callback to the 1988 (with the extra river) and 1991 (with the company name's appearance) logos, and the issue with the squished box has finally disappeared.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme to the film. The TV version has an abridged version of the fanfare from the 2nd and 3rd logos.

Availability: Uncommon so far. Made its debut on All Eyez on Me, Morgan Creek's first theatrical release in six years. The television version is seen on season 2 of The Exorcist.

Editor's Note: A well-done logo with elements incorporated from the first two logos.
