2016 saw them acquiring rival premium TV network Creator/{{Starz}}, and their boatload of networks and properties (including Anchor Bay Entertainment and the back catalog of Creator/FilmRoman), from John Malone for $4.4 billion.

Lionsgate's pay TV rights are tangled up: they own Starz, but Lionsgate itself still licensed its first-run films to Epix through their 2019 slate; they then began outputting content through Creator/{{Hulu}} from 2020-2021, before finally uniting with their new corporate sibling beginning with their 2022 films.[[note]]Subsidiary Summit Entertainment has an output deal with Creator/{{HBO}}.[[/note]]

During the 2000s, the company had financial issues due to a number of flops and a few hostile takeover attempts by famed corporate raider Carl Icahn (who has a history of buying floundering businesses and making things worse than before). Since then, however, the company's fortunes had bounced back considerably; Icahn dumped his one-third stake in Lionsgate in August, 2011 for $7 a share, a significant haircut after what turned out to be the roaring success of ''Film/TheHungerGames'', which has the makings of a CashCowFranchise with as many as three sequels coming in the next three years. In January 2012, Lionsgate acquired Creator/SummitEntertainment, the studio behind ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'' film franchise, for $412.5 million. Thanks to Paramount's mid-late 2010s AudienceAlienatingEra, Lionsgate actually managed to surpass it a few times during TheNewTens (specifically, in 2013, 2017, and 2019) in terms of yearly box office intake.

Lions Gate was originally founded in UsefulNotes/{{Vancouver}} from the ashes of defunct Canadian distributor Cinepix Film Properties by investor Frank Giustra, who named the company after the Lions Gate Bridge. In 2000, the studio acquired Trimark Pictures (formerly Vidmark). It expanded by 2004, acquiring [[UsefulNotes/HomeVideoDistributors Artisan Entertainment]] [[note]](which went under several different names -- Family Home Entertainment (FHE), U.S.A. Home Video, International Video Entertainment (IVE), and LIVE Entertainment)[[/note]] and with it the libraries of Vestron Video and the home video rights to the Creator/CarolcoPictures library. After pulling their contracts from Creator/{{Showtime}} in 2009, Lionsgate, Creator/{{MGM}} and Creator/{{Paramount}} formed Creator/{{Epix}}, a premium network that's smaller in scale than its [[Creator/{{HBO}} competition]].
