PROFILE |
 |
Submarine "U-571" is just one of the film properties that have traveled through the waters of Studio Canal. Formerly Canal + Image, the company produces and distributes films, mostly through co-production agreements with other studios. Its catalog of more than 5,000 films includes "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" and "Billy Elliot." Studio Canal has several outstanding co-productions with Hollywood studios, but once those films are completed the company may focus more on European productions. It also owns 33% of Expand, a European TV production house. Vivendi Universal owns 86% of Studio Canal, which it has placed under the Universal Pictures umbrella. Vivendi Universal is considering buying the rest of the company.
