Unfortunately, despite starting out strong with several hits, the company soon fell victim to one too many {{box office bomb}}s, which would later ultimately end the company. In January 2014, co-founder Peter Schlessel left the company to replace James Schamus as CEO of Focus Features. This meant that [=FilmDistrict=]'s distribution operations were [[CreatorKiller given the ax]]. Their final films, a remake of ''Film/{{Oldboy|2013}}'' and ''Film/{{Pompeii}}'', were both box office bombs, ending the studio's once-shiny run with a whimper. The company's remaining films that were unreleased would later be transferred over to Focus, under the division Focus World.

Film District was an American film company that was founded by Graham King and Bob Berney in 2010. King, a UK film producer who heads GK Films (and formerly Initial Entertainment Group), formed the company as a way to release his productions that didn't have American distributors. He hired Berney, a former head of NewLineCinema's Picturehouse label who had left Apparition over issues with that company's co-founder, to head acquisitions and began business almost immediately by picking up ''Film/{{Insidious}}'' and ''Film/SoulSurfer'' for American distribution. Their first release, ''Insidious'', grossed over $50 million on a budget of $1.5 million.

The company distributed through TristarPictures and Open Road Films (a joint venture of theatre companies AMC and Regal).
