New World Pictures (also known as New World Entertainment, New World Communications Group, Inc., and New World International) was an American independent production, distribution, and (in its final years as an autonomous entity) multimedia company. It was founded in 1970 by Roger Corman and Gene Corman as New World Pictures, Ltd., a producer and distributor of motion pictures, eventually expanding into television production in 1984. New World eventually expanded into broadcasting with the acquisition of seven television stations in 1993, with the broadcasting unit expanding through additional purchases made during 1994.

20th Century Fox (then solely-owned by News Corporation), controlled by Rupert Murdoch, became a major investor in 1994 and purchased the company outright in 1997; the alliance with Murdoch, specifically through a group affiliation agreement with New World reached between the two companies in May 1994, helped to cement the Fox network as the fourth major U.S. television network.

Although effectively defunct, it continues to exist as holding companies within the Fox Corporation corporate structure along with various regional subsidiaries (e.g. "New World Communications of Tampa").

New World Pictures' co-founder Gene Corman died at his home in Beverly Hills, California, on September 28, 2020, at the age of 93.[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/gene-corman-dead-producer-brother-roger-corman-was-93-730205 Gene Corman, Producer and Brother of Roger Corman, Dies at 93] Roger Corman later died at his home in Santa Monica, California, on May 9, 2024, at the age of 98.{{Cite news |last1=Natale |first1=Richard |last2=Gray |first2=Tim |title=Roger Corman, Pioneering Independent Producer and King of B Movies, Dies at 98 |url=https://variety.com/2024/film/news/roger-corman-dead-producer-independent-b-movie-1235999591/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240512020254/https://variety.com/2024/film/news/roger-corman-dead-producer-independent-b-movie-1235999591/ |archive-date=2024-05-12 |url-status=live |work=Variety |access-date=2024-05-12}}{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2024-05-12 |title=Roger Corman Dies: 'The Little Shop Of Horrors' Director & Independent Filmmaker Was 98 |url=https://deadline.com/2024/05/roger-corman-dead-independent-filmmaker-1235912737/ |access-date=2024-05-12 |website=Deadline |language=en-US |archive-date=May 12, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240512080617/https://deadline.com/2024/05/roger-corman-dead-independent-filmmaker-1235912737/ |url-status=live}}

History

= New World Pictures (1970–1987) =

Founded on July 8, 1970, New World Pictures, Ltd. was co-founded by B-movie director Roger Corman and his brother Gene, following their departure from American International Pictures (AIP).{{cite news |author=Susan King |date=July 9, 1995 |title=Roger Corman: Master of His Cult |newspaper=Los Angeles Times |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-07-09-tv-21790-story.html |access-date=February 23, 2013}} As the last remaining national low-budget film distributor at the time, New World quickly became one of the most successful independent companies in the nation. {{citation needed|date=August 2013}} Corman hoped to continue AIP's formula at New World, making low-budget films by new talent and distributing them internationally. However, it started with only ten domestic offices, and one each in Canada and the United Kingdom; its films were distributed regionally by other companies.{{cite book|title=Lost Illusions: American cinema in the shadow of Watergate and ..., Volume 9|author=David A. Cook|publisher=Simon & Schuster|pages=328–329}}

New World initially made exploitation films such as The Student Nurses and other small-scale productions. Corman helped launch the filmmaking careers of Jonathan Demme (Caged Heat, Crazy Mama), Jonathan Kaplan (White Line Fever), Ron Howard (Grand Theft Auto), Paul Bartel (Death Race 2000) and Joe Dante (Piranha), all of whom made some of their early films as interns for the company. New World also released foreign films from acclaimed directors such as Ingmar Bergman (Cries and Whispers, Autumn Sonata), Federico Fellini (Amarcord) and Akira Kurosawa (Dersu Uzala). Corman conceived the distribution of such films to disassociate New World from being an exhibitor of exploitation films.

In 1983, Corman sold New World to Larry Kupin, Harry E. Sloan and Larry A. Thompson for $16.5 million; the three new owners decided to take the company public. Corman retained the film library, while New World acquired home video rights to the releases. In 1984, Robert Rehme – who formerly served as CEO of Avco Embassy Pictures and Universal Pictures and had previously worked for New World as its VP of sales in the 1970s – returned to the company as its new CEO. Later that year, Thompson left the company to form his firm.{{cite news|title=REAL CLIFFHANGER: Will New World Be the Next Financial Horror in Hollywood?|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1988-03-06-fi-983-story.html|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=March 6, 1988|access-date=November 12, 2010}} On February 21, 1984, New World Pictures added 3 new pictures to produce a minimum of 14 releases per year, and had plans to start their regional network.{{Cite news|last=Klein|first=Richard|date=1984-02-22|title=New World Adds 3 Pix for '84, Excepts Minimum of 14 Releases|page=39|work=Variety}}

In 1984, the company created three new divisions: New World International, which would handle distribution of New World's productions outside the United States; New World Television, a production unit focusing on television programs (the first television programs produced by the unit were the soap opera Santa Barbara and the made-for-TV movie Playing With Fire); and New World Video, which would handle home video distribution of films produced mainly by New World Pictures. It would eventually see the success of its video division in its first few months of operation.{{Cite magazine|date=1985-08-24|title=New World Arrives: Projecting The Product Image Of A Studio Major With Personal Touch|page=42|magazine=Billboard|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Music/Billboard-Index/IDX/1985/1985-08-24-Billboard-Page-0042.pdf|access-date=2021-01-04}}

In 1986, New World acquired the post-production facility Lions Gate Studios for $4.4 million, as well as the Marvel Entertainment Group (MEG), the corporate parent of Marvel Comics from the liquidated Cadence Industries.{{cite news|title=Cadence Selling Comic-Book, Animation Unit : New World Pictures to Acquire Marvel|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1986-11-21-fi-14794-story.html|author=Bruce Keppel|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=November 21, 1986|access-date=December 2, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141015014831/http://articles.latimes.com/1986-11-21/business/fi-14794_1_marvel-comics-group|archive-date=October 15, 2014|url-status=live}}{{cite news|title=Superheroes' Battleground: Prime Time|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1988/10/11/arts/superheroes-battleground-prime-time.html|author=Aljean Harmetz|newspaper=The New York Times|date=October 11, 1988}}

In July 1967, William "Bill" Deneen left Encyclopædia Britannica Films to start up the Learning Corporation of America, a rival company with Columbia Pictures.{{cite web |title=Learning Corporation of America - Studio Directory |url=https://www.bcdb.com/cartoons/Other_Studios/L/Learning_Corporation_of_America/ |website=Big Cartoon DataBase (BCDB) |access-date=30 July 2024}} It would quickly become one of EBF's biggest rivals in the 16mm field. During his past decade with EBF, William Deneen's specialty was geography films. He was the owner of an independent film company since 1950, which was distributing through EBF until they absorbed his company and made him VP. Among his most famous in-depth looks of everyday life overseas were a series on Japan, Hungary and Communism and a trio shot on Samuel Bronston's sets of Fall of the Roman Empire, including Claudius: Boy of Ancient Rome. Despite being made very economically, these were undoubtedly the most expensive-looking school films of the era.

In 1987, New World acquired educational film company Learning Corporation of America and independent film studio Highgate Pictures.{{cite web|title=William Deneen|url=https://www.afana.org/deneen.htm|website=Afana.org|access-date=June 2, 2012}} By this time New World Pictures changed its name to New World Entertainment to better reflect its range of subsidiaries besides the film studio, including its purchase of Marvel Comics, and partner Harry Sloan said that the name change would have the revised banner "more accurately reflects the business the company is in".{{Cite news |date=1987-07-22 |title=New World Alters Name At Routine Annual Meeting |page=3 |work=Variety}} Also that year New World almost purchased two toy companies, Kenner Parker Toys and Mattel, but both planned acquisitions never materialized (although Tonka would acquire Kenner in 1987).

Around this time, New World faced a significant financial slump, and the company began restructuring itself. This began with the sale of Marvel Entertainment Group to Andrews Group (run by financier Ronald Perelman) on January 6, 1989; Marvel Productions was excluded from the sale.{{cite news|title=THE MEDIA BUSINESS; Marvel Comic Book Unit Being Sold for $82.5 Million|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FB0710FC3B5C0C7B8CDDA80994D0484D81|author=Jonathan P.

The company agreed to purchase Argyle Television in May 1994 and its four stations: CBS affiliates KTBC-TV in Austin, Texas, and KDFW-TV in Dallas; NBC affiliate WVTM-TV in Birmingham, Alabama; and ABC affiliate KTVI in St. Louis.

The biggest deal involving New World Communications would aid in changing the face of American broadcasting. In the wake of Fox's landmark $1.58-billion deal with the National Football League (NFL) on December 17, 1993, which awarded it the television rights to the National Football Conference (NFC) beginning with the league's 1994 season,{{cite news|title=NBC Gets Final N.F.L.

Shortly after the Citicasters acquisition announcement, on May 23, 1994, New World Communications and Fox reached a multi-year affiliation agreement in which New World would switch most of its television stations to the network beginning that fall. The deal would include most of the stations that New World was acquiring from Argyle and Citicasters, with all of the affected stations joining Fox after existing affiliation contracts with their then-current network partners concluded. In exchange, Fox parent News Corporation agreed to purchase a 20% interest in New World for $500 million.{{cite news|title=Fox Will Sign Up 12 New Stations; Takes 8 from CBS|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1994/05/24/us/fox-will-sign-up-12-new-stations-takes-8-from-cbs.html?pagewanted=4|author=Bill Carter|newspaper=The New York Times|date=May 24, 1994|access-date=March 15, 2015}}{{cite news|title=Fox and the New World order|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Magazines/Archive-BC-IDX/94-OCR/BC-1994-05-30-Page-0006.pdf|author=Geoffrey Foisie|periodical=Broadcasting & Cable|via=World Radio History|page=6|date=May 30, 1994|access-date=March 16, 2015}}

New World, meanwhile, was concerned about the effect that the network's loss of NFC rights to Fox would have on both CBS, which was near the bottom of the network ratings at the time, and on the group's CBS-affiliated stations.

The stations that became Fox affiliates had to acquire or produce additional programming to fill their broadcast days, as Fox programmed significantly fewer hours of network content (prime time programming for two hours on Monday through Saturdays and three hours on Sundays, the Monday through Saturday children's block Fox Kids, and an hour of late night programming on Saturdays) than its three established major network competitors; on top of that, most of the New World stations (with KTVI later becoming the lone exception) declined to carry the Fox Kids block. The time vacated by news programs, daytime shows and children's programs from each station's former network was filled by additional syndicated programming, particularly local newscasts. The deal as a whole (as well as a second affiliation agreement that was struck one month after the New World deal through the purchase of four stations by a joint venture with Savoy Pictures) caused a domino effect that resulted in various individual and group affiliation deals involving all four networks (primarily CBS, Fox, and ABC) affecting television stations in more than 70 media markets; in most of those areas, New World did not own a station.

Three New World stations were excluded from the Fox affiliation deal. In Boston, where New World owned WSBK-TV, Fox was already affiliated with WFXT (channel 25).
