Revolution Studios is a production company founded by former 20th Century Fox head Joe Roth in 2000 with support from Columbia Pictures, the Fox network and the Starz network. From 2001 to 2007, Revolution was a production company for films before Roth left to produce on his own. The company now exists as a television production company for their existing properties (their first film in a decade, xXx: Return of Xander Cage, was released through Paramount Pictures).
While Revolution took a hiatus from film production, they acquired several film libraries, including Morgan Creek, GK Films, Cross Creek Pictures, and Cold Spring Pictures. The company had a digital/television distribution deal with Miramax, but in 2019, returned to Sony for distribution.
Many (but not all) of their films were critical (and sometimes even commercial) duds, which is—you guessed it—often attributed to Executive Meddling on their part.
