The joint venture was later expanded and renamed as [[Creator/UnitedArtists United Artists Releasing]], which will be used to distribute films from MGM, Creator/OrionPictures,[[note]]whose films initially weren't part of the deal, but was later pulled in after MGM restructured their distribution team under the venture[[/note]] and Annapurna.

In 2018, after a string of commercial flops, the company's finances were handled by Megan's father Larry Ellison; with a couple of their projects being put on hold, rumors were spreading that Annapurna was closing down soon. Nevertheless, Megan assures that her studio will stay in business.
