History

The company was founded in 1980 as MCA Videocassette, Inc. with Gene Giaquinto as president of the division. It released 24 films on Betamax and VHS in May 1980, including Jaws, Animal House and The Deer Hunter as well as classic films such as Dracula, Animal Crackers, and Scarface.{{cite magazine|magazine=Daily Variety|date=February 6, 1990|page=78|title=Mixed Reviews|last=Bierbaum|first=Tom}} Jaws 2 and 1941 were also released that year. Before 1980 Castle Films (known as Universal 8 after 1977) had served as Universal's home film distribution unit. In late 1983, both the Laserdisc sister label MCA Videodisc and the MCA Videocassette label were consolidated into a single entity, MCA Home Video, alternating with the MCA Videocassette, Inc. name until December 1983.

In the mid-1980s, MCA Home Video began to license catalog titles to smaller, independent video firms with a focus on sell-through product. The first was in 1986 with Kartes Video Communications.{{Cite magazine|last=Seideman|first=Tony|date=1986-03-15|title=Kartes Granted Exclusivity On Paramount, MCA Oldies|page=67|magazine=Billboard|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Music/Billboard-Index/IDX/1986/1986-03-15-Billboard-Page-0067.pdf|access-date=2021-12-28}} The deal was followed with a similar agreement with GoodTimes Home Video in 1987.{{Cite magazine|last=Stewart|first=Al|date=1987-06-20|title=Lorimar Drops KLV-TV Promotion|page=71|magazine=Billboard|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Music/Billboard-Index/IDX/1987/1987-06-20-Billboard-Page-0071.pdf|access-date=2021-12-27}}

Also in 1986, the company made agreements with Motown Productions{{Cite news|date=1986-07-02|title=MCA Turns Crank On Made-For Fare With Motown Minis|page=34|work=Variety}} and with children's book publisher Price Stern Sloan.{{Cite news|last=Melanson|first=James|date=1986-11-19|title=Children's Book Publisher Signs MCA Homevid Distribution Deal|page=74|work=Variety}} Both deals were intended to expand MCA's non-theatrical product.

1987 was a busy year for MCA Home Video; the company underwent an executive shuffle, signed an exclusive three-year deal with International Video Entertainment for video distribution, and began offering new content from Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus.{{Cite news|date=1987-02-18|title=MCA To Distribute IVE's Videocassettes|page=102|work=Variety}}{{Cite news |date=1987-09-02 |title=MCA Revamps Home Unit; 4 Execs Boosted |page=47 |work=Variety}}

In 1990, with the 75th anniversary of Universal Studios, it became MCA/Universal Home Video and used that name alternating with the MCA Home Video name from 1990 until 1997. On December 9, 1996, the company was renamed as Universal Studios Home Video when MCA was reincorporated as Universal Studios, which would then later be merged into Vivendi Universal Entertainment in 2000.

Universal's first titles on DVD, in 1997, were licensed to Image Entertainment for distribution. These early, bare-bones editions quickly fell out-of-print when Universal started making their own DVDs. {{Citation needed|date=April 2024}}

In 2004, due to the merger of Universal Studios and NBC to form NBC Universal, Universal started releasing DVDs of shows from the newly established NBC Universal Television Distribution. Before 2004, NBC shows were distributed on DVD by Lions Gate Home Entertainment and A&E Home Video under the label NBC Home Entertainment (formerly NBC Home Video under Trimark until it was bought by Lions Gate). NBC's home entertainment on-screen logo was simply the NBC Enterprises syndication logo.

In 2005 (by which point the Universal Studios Home Entertainment name was in use), the group was restructured; Universal 1440 Entertainment was formed as an internal production arm, while the London-based Universal Pictures Visual Programming (formerly PolyGram Visual Programming) unit was folded into Universal Pictures International; Universal Cartoon Studios was absorbed into the Family Productions unit.{{cite news |last=Wolfe |first=Jennifer |title=Threshold Signs First Look Deal with Universal's Home Ent Production Unit |url=https://www.awn.com/news/threshold-signs-first-look-deal-universal-s-home-ent-production-unit |access-date=May 14, 2020 |work=Animation World Network |date=September 10, 2014 |language=en}}{{Cite web |last1=Gallo |first1=Scott Hettrick,Eliza |last2=Hettrick |first2=Scott |last3=Gallo |first3=Eliza |date=2005-03-07 |title=U homevid units in family way |url=https://variety.com/2005/digital/features/u-homevid-units-in-family-way-1117918968/ |access-date=2023-10-12 |website=Variety |language=en-US}} The year after, UPHE acquired distribution rights to the Barbie film series after negotiations between Mattel and their previous domestic distributor, Lionsgate Home Entertainment, fell apart (Universal had already been distributing these films internationally).{{Cite web |last=Netherby |first=Jennifer |date=2006-04-13 |title=U enters the Barbie biz |url=https://variety.com/2006/scene/markets-festivals/u-enters-the-barbie-biz-1117941462/ |access-date=2024-03-06 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Jacobs |first=Evan |date=2006-04-11 |title=Barbie Finds New Home at Universal |url=https://movieweb.com/barbie-finds-new-home-at-universal/ |access-date=2024-03-06 |website=MovieWeb |language=en}}{{Cite web |last=B |first=Brian |date=2006-03-24 |title=Lionsgate and Mattel Say No More Barbie DVDs |url=https://movieweb.com/lionsgate-and-mattel-say-no-more-barbie-dvds/ |access-date=2024-03-06 |website=MovieWeb |language=en}}

Universal was also the worldwide video distributor for DreamWorks titles using the DreamWorks Home Entertainment moniker until 2006, when DreamWorks was sold to Paramount Pictures' parent company, Viacom, and as a result, Paramount Home Entertainment took over distribution. After Viacom spun off DreamWorks in 2008, Universal Studios Home Entertainment planned to resume distributing DreamWorks' movies, but this deal fell through. Until Lionsgate formed their home video division, Universal distributed their releases with the exception of Dogma, which was distributed by Columbia-TriStar Home Video. In 2007, it was signed on as home video distributor of releases by Summit Entertainment (ironically, Summit was later bought by Lionsgate).{{Cite web|last=McNary|first=Dave|date=2007-05-18|title=Summit, Universal make distrib pact|url=https://variety.com/2007/digital/features/summit-universal-make-distrib-pact-1117965192/|access-date=2021-11-09|website=Variety|language=en-US}}

In addition to DVDs, Universal was a major supporter of the HD DVD format until Toshiba discontinued the format. Since July 22, 2008, UPHE released Blu-rays and it was the last major Hollywood movie studio to do so. The first three Blu-ray releases to come out in the U.S. were The Mummy, its sequel The Mummy Returns and The Scorpion King. Since August 9, 2016, UPHE has released Ultra HD Blu-rays.

In 2015, Funimation (now known as Crunchyroll, LLC), formed a multi-year home video distribution deal with UPHE.{{cite press release|url=https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/funimation-and-universal-pictures-home-entertainment-enter-into-multi-year-distribution-agreement-300103173.html|title=Funimation and Universal Pictures Home Entertainment Enter Into Multi-Year Distribution Agreement|agency=PR Newswire|date=June 22, 2015|access-date=March 13, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150623232234/http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/funimation-and-universal-pictures-home-entertainment-enter-into-multi-year-distribution-agreement-300103173.html|archive-date=June 23, 2015|url-status=live|df=mdy-all}} Two years later, Sony Pictures Television acquired a 95% stake in Funimation, which resulted in Sony Pictures Home Entertainment taking over distribution after the UPHE deal expired.{{Cite web|url=https://www.onepiecepodcast.com/2017/07/31/sony-funimation-mean/|title=Sony and Funimation: What does that mean for you?|work=The One Piece Podcast |date=August 1, 2017}}

Starting on June 5, 2018, because NBCUniversal acquired DreamWorks Animation in 2016, Universal began re-releasing all of DWA's film library on home video after their deal with 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment ended.

Internationally

Outside North America, before 1999, Universal releases were distributed by CIC Video, the home video division of United International Pictures. When Universal nearly pulled out of UIP in 1999 following their then-parent Seagram's purchase of PolyGram, they would pull out of CIC and renamed PolyGram's home video unit (PolyGram Video) as Universal Pictures Video, later Universal Pictures International Entertainment.{{Cite web|url=https://variety.com/1999/biz/news/u-par-s-cic-not-clicking-1117491103/|title=U-Par's CIC not clicking|date=8 February 1999|access-date=31 January 2025}}

On February 28, 1999, Universal signed a multi-year distribution deal with Columbia TriStar Home Video to allow the latter to distribute Universal's DVD releases outside North America.{{cite web | url=https://www.soundandvision.com/content/universal-and-columbia-tristar-join-international-dvd-distribution | title=Universal and Columbia TriStar Join for International DVD Distribution | date=28 February 1999 }}

At the start of 2015, Paramount Home Entertainment signed a distribution agreement with Universal, whereby the latter will distribute the former's titles overseas, particularly in the territories where Paramount holds an office. The deal began on July 1, 2015.{{cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2015/02/universal-paramount-international-distribution-dvd-disc-1201372105/|title=Universal To Distribute Paramount's DVD & Blu-ray Discs Abroad|first=David|last=Lieberman|date=12 February 2015|access-date=2 January 2019}}

Along with the announcement of the Universal/Warner Bros. NA physical home media joint-venture, Universal announced that they would begin distributing Warner Bros. titles in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Japan in the third quarter of 2020 through home video, while Warner Bros. announced that they would begin distributing Universal titles in the United Kingdom, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg in the first quarter of 2021 through home video.{{cite web |last1=D'Alessandro |first1=Anthony |date=15 January 2020 |title=Universal & Warner Bros.

=Distribution deals=

In the Netherlands, UPHE used to distribute most DVDs of films released theatrically by Independent Films and TV shows and films from Studio 100 until 2006, although this is now limited to catalog releases, as more recent films are now released through Warner Bros. Home Entertainment and later on, Belga Home Video.

In South Africa, UPHE distributes films on DVD and VHS through CIC Video in the 1980s and 1990s. In 1999, the company was moved to Ster-Kinekor Home Entertainment until 2007 after CIC Video was dissolved in the same year. In 2008, it was moved later to Nu Metro Home Entertainment on DVDs until 2013, when Next Entertainment took over until 2019.

UPHE also formerly distributed StudioCanal titles on home media in France (until 2024 when distribution moved to ESC Distribution), most of the Republic Pictures library in the UK and most of the Carolco Pictures library in Australia, Latin America, and several European countries (along with other StudioCanal properties) until StudioCanal's global distribution deal with Universal expired in January 2022.{{Cite web|url=https://variety.com/2021/film/global/studiocanal-nbcuniversal-distribution-rights-deal-ends-1235087972|title='Terminator 2,' 'Basic Instinct' to Return to Studiocanal Distribution Portfolio as NBCUniversal Deal Ends – Global Bulletin|date=13 October 2021}} In the 1980s until the late 1990s, they also distributed tapes released by Cineplex Odeon in Canada.

In the UK, UPHE previously distributed its films on video internationally through CIC Video (a division of Cinema International Corporation, later United International Pictures) alongside Paramount Pictures. In Japan, releases from both Universal and Paramount appeared on CIC-Victor Video, Ltd. (a joint venture between CIC Video and JVC) for VHS and on Pioneer LDC, Inc. for Laserdisc.

In June 2002, Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment formed a joint-venture with Universal Pictures (UK) Ltd. called UCA (Universal Columbia Alliance), under which Universal would distribute back catalogue Columbia Tristar titles through retail.{{cite web | url=https://www.blickpunktfilm.de/videos/uk-columbia-und-universal-kooperieren-bei-backkatalog-c62e4b9b2de4b27e131e43d9840409c5 | title=UK: Columbia und Universal kooperieren bei Backkatalog }}

UPHE's international operations are a carryover from the PolyGram Video days,https://www.prnewswire.co.uk/cgi/news/release/?id=59043 Universal Studios Home Video And Columbia Tristar Home Video Join For International DVD Distribution but UPHE operates a joint venture in Australia, New Zealand and Scandinavia with Sony Pictures Home Entertainment called Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The venture distributes UPHE and SPHE titles on home media in those countries and also licensed anime series and films from the anime library of NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan, the Japanese division of UPHE's sister company, Universal Pictures International Entertainment, formerly known as Pioneer LDC from 1981 to 2003, Geneon Entertainment from 2003 to 2009 and Geneon Universal Entertainment from 2009 to very late 2013, the year they switched to their current name. The name of the joint venture is Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Australia. Before that, though, NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan had a marketing and distribution division in North America called Geneon USA, which, like UPHE, also distributed home video. At the time, NBCUEJ was known as Geneon Entertainment. Geneon USA shut down in late 2007, and Universal has licensed all of NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan's catalog to other companies rather than directly distributing them themselves. Starting on March 26, 2022, NBCUEJ (through UPHE) distributes and licenses anime series and films.

From 2017 to 2018, Funimation began directly distributing a select number of its titles in Australia and New Zealand through Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Australia. In September 2018, Funimation transferred distribution to Madman Entertainment, with Madman handling distribution and classification within the region.{{cite web|url=http://madboards.madman.com.au/viewtopic.php?p=899872#899872|date=14 December 2018|title=Some insights|author=Slykura|website=Madboards|access-date=March 2, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190212011431/http://madboards.madman.com.au/viewtopic.php?p=899872#899872|archive-date=February 12, 2019|url-status=live|df=mdy-all}}{{cite web|url=http://madboards.madman.com.au/viewtopic.php?p=899898#899898|title=In short, we have a new distribution agreement with Funimation which means that we are their local distributors NOT licensee, but distributor for their products.|author=Slykura|date=7 January 2019|website=Madboards|access-date=March 2, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190212011429/http://madboards.madman.com.au/viewtopic.php?p=899898#899898|archive-date=February 12, 2019|url-status=live|df=mdy-all}}

On October 3, 2014, Universal established global headquarters for its home video division in Los Angeles.

The Universal deal expired upon the announcement of the Universal/Warner Bros. physical media joint-venture, and as a result, Paramount signed a new UK home entertainment distribution deal with StudioCanal UK and Lionsgate UK's Elevation Sales on July 14, 2020, that began in November that year.{{Cite web|url=https://www.screendaily.com/news/paramount-signs-home-entertainment-deal-with-uks-elevation/5151537.article|title=Paramount signs home entertainment deal with UK's Elevation|first=Michael|last=Rosser|date=2020-07-14|website=Screen}}

In 2020, SF Studios had signed a distribution deal with Universal to handle titles across the Nordic region.{{Cite web|last=Keslassy|first=Elsa|date=2020-11-16|title=SF Studios Signs Distribution Deal With Universal Pictures Home Entertainment (EXCLUSIVE)|url=https://variety.com/2020/film/global/sf-studios-universal-pictures-home-entertainment-1234832203/|access-date=2021-11-09|website=Variety|language=en-US}}

In early 2023 and late 2024, Plaion Pictures and Spirit Entertainment signed a distribution deal with Universal to handle titles respectively in Italy and the United Kingdom, which caused Universal's deal with Warner Bros. Home Entertainment to expire in those countries. Since early 2024, ESC Distribution now handles Universal's titles on home media in France.
