Triumph Films

Founded in 1982 as a partnership between Columbia Pictures and Gaumont. In 1986, Gaumont sold its stake in Triumph to Columbia, which at the time, was owned by The Coca-Cola Company. In 1987, Triumph Releasing Corporation was created as a distribution label for Triumph Films. In 1991, after Sony bought Columbia from Coke, TRC was renamed Sony Pictures Releasing while Triumph became a direct subsidiary under SPE's Worldwide Acquisitions unit alongside Stage 6, Affirm Films and Destination Films. In 2014, Triumph was folded into the Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group, but remains a copyright holder in-name-only.
