TriStar Pictures (spelled Tri-Star until 1991) is a subsidiary of Columbia Pictures, itself a subdivision of Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group, which is owned by Sony Pictures.

In 1989, all of Coke's entertainment holdings were owned by Sony, who merged Columbia and TriStar, but continued to use the separate names.
