  Alliance Atlantis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alliance Atlantis Communications is a Toronto-based media company, which now operates primarily as a specialty service operator in Canada.
Alliance Atlantis has been known to fund projects regarded as too controversial by US companies, such as Bowling for Columbine; it was Canadian distributor of Fahrenheit 9/11.
As the openings of all Alliance Atlantis-distributed films now read, Alliance Atlantis is "an indirect limited partner of Motion Picture Distribution LP, not a general partner", although it does, in fact, control the general partner of the partnership, and hence controls the distribution unit itself.

 Alliance-Atlantis Merger
In fact, the 12 years he has spent as head of Alliance - during which he built the company into the largest of its kind in the country, with 1997 revenues of nearly $400 million - he describes as "a detour" from his artistic goals.
Still, Alliance Atlantis will have long arms in TV production (with Traders and Earth: Final Conflict among Atlantis's series, Black Harbour from Alliance) and distribution (enhanced by Alliance's May purchase of a 75-per-cent interest in Cineplex Odeon Films, one of the country's biggest film distributors).
Alliance Atlantis will also control four specialty TV channels - Life and Home & Garden Television from Atlantis, Showcase and History from Alliance - and will have nine applications for new channels before the CRTC early next year.
