  Republic Pictures - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Republic Pictures Corporation (aka Republic Entertainment) is an independent film, television, and video distribution company that was originally a movie production-distribution corporation with studio facilities, best known for its specialization in quality B pictures, westerns and movie serials.
Republic was the first Hollywood studio to offer its film library to television, in 1951 creating a subsidiary, Hollywood Television Service, to peddle its vintage westerns and action thrillers.
Republic's video division shut down in 1995, allowing the video rights to the Republic library to be leased to Artisan Entertainment, while the library itself continued to be released under the Republic name and logo.

Continuing the speciality of this last component, Republic Pictures earned its greatest reputation for its numerous serials, which were generally considered the best in the business.
In 1993, Republic (which by this time had become a subsidiary of Spelling Entertainment) won a landmark legal decision reactivating the copyright on Frank Capra's 1946 film It's a Wonderful Life (they had already owned the film's negative, music score, and the story on which it was based, "The Greatest Gift").
By the end of the decade, Viacom bought the portion of Spelling it did not own previously, thus today Republic is a wholly-owned division of Paramount/Viacom.

They are sitting on a bunch of good titles within their own in-house library, and it's possible that Boogens and other Republic Pictures titles will someday sit side-by-side...It could be years, but I wouldn't rule out hope.
