After its acquisition by Lionsgate, and then a spin-off to and restructuring by Lionsgate Studios, eOne Films is the only entity to retain the "Entertainment One" branding.

In 2012, the company announced that it would acquire Alliance Films for CDN$225 million,{{Cite web|url=https://variety.com/2012/film/news/eone-buys-alliance-films-1118058918/|title=eOne buys Alliance Films|last=Mitchell|first=Robert|date=September 7, 2012|website=Variety|language=en|access-date=November 7, 2019|archive-date=November 7, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191107193401/https://variety.com/2012/film/news/eone-buys-alliance-films-1118058918/|url-status=live}} which also added the assets of Maple Pictures and Momentum Pictures to its holdings. eOne also handled the Canadian distribution rights to the Miramax library, as well as the pre-2005 Dimension Films library from 2013 to 2024.

On May 8, 2015, eOne consolidated its film production and international sales units into a new unit known as eOne Features, with a goal to self-produce and finance six-to-eight films per-year.{{Cite web|url=https://www.screendaily.com/news/eone-launches-entertainment-one-features/5087549.article|title=eOne launches Entertainment One Features|last=Rosser|first=Michael|website=Screen|language=en|access-date=November 11, 2019|archive-date=November 11, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191111194238/https://www.screendaily.com/news/eone-launches-entertainment-one-features/5087549.article|url-status=live}} On December 16, 2015, it was announced that eOne would be an investor in Amblin Partners.{{cite web |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/helen-mirrens-eye-sky-acquired-822750 |title=TIFF: Bleecker Street Acquiring Drone Drama 'Eye in the Sky' |last=Ford |first=Rebecca |date=September 14, 2015 |website=THR |access-date=July 21, 2020 |archive-date=July 21, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200721224517/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/helen-mirrens-eye-sky-acquired-822750 |url-status=live }}{{cite web |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/eone-ceo-working-netflix-overseas-hollywoods-harassment-scandals-1077856 |title=eOne CEO on Working With Netflix, Hollywood's Harassment Scandals (Q&A) |last=Kilday |first=Gregg |date=January 26, 2018 |website=THR |access-date=July 21, 2020 |archive-date=July 21, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200721191044/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/eone-ceo-working-netflix-overseas-hollywoods-harassment-scandals-1077856 |url-status=live }} On September 23, 2016, Xavier Dolan's eOne-distributed film Juste la fin du monde was announced as Canada's entry in the Best Foreign Language Film category for the 89th Academy Awards.{{cite web|url=https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/xavier-dolans-its-only-the-end-of-the-world-to-represent-canada-in-race-for-2017-best-foreign-language-film-oscar-594599131.html|title=Xavier Dolan's It's Only the End of the World to represent Canada in race for 2017 Best Foreign Language Film Oscar|publisher=Newsire|access-date=September 23, 2016|archive-date=November 9, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161109083830/http://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/xavier-dolans-its-only-the-end-of-the-world-to-represent-canada-in-race-for-2017-best-foreign-language-film-oscar-594599131.html|url-status=live}}
