Hexagon Pictures

Hexagon Pictures Corporation or Hexagon Pictures is a mini-major film distribution company.

From 2001 to 2013, Hexagon was an in-name only unit of Argosy Media under the name Cairo/MTM Audiovisual Holdings Corporation, but it was revived as a division of Cairo/MTM Filmed Entertainment to distribute films from Svensk Filmindustri, Le Studio M6, FremantleMedia Motion Pictures UK and Ireland, FremantleMedia Motion Pictures Australia, and CTV/Bell Films.

History
Hexagon was formed as a film production company in 1968 by Albert Bickner, Rob Walton and Roger Palmer.

Hexagon did not have a logo until 1972, when they started distributing films.

In 1982, Hexagon purchased Associated Pictures (a film arm of former ITV franchise ATV) and released all 500 titles they produced on VHS and Laserdisc. After the acquisition of Associated, Hexagon purchased E1 Entertainment's pre-1982 library in May 1983.

In 1984, Hexagon purchased the 300 films in the library of FilmWorld Productions and American distribution rights to the Cinema City library.

In 1990, Hexagon made a international (non USA and Canada) deal with Cairo Pictures International to distribute Hexagon's films internationally.

In 1998, Hexagon sold Associated to Carlton, but Hexagon retained the Associated film library.

In 2001, Hexagon was purchased by Cairo Pictures and shut down.

In 2013, it was revived as a distributor of films from foreign studios.
