| 3 | Savoy Pictures was a former film company founded in 1992 by former Creator/ColumbiaPictures chairman Victor A. Kaufman and Lewis J. Korman. They typically produced films in the low-budget range, but unfortunately poor marketing led to the majority of their output [[BoxOfficeBomb bombing]]. In 1994, in an attempt to gain more money for funding of their films, Savoy teamed up with [[Creator/{{FOX}} Fox Television Stations]] to form a joint venture called SF Broadcasting, which had four TV stations that would become Fox affiliates. |

| 5 | By 1995 however, Savoy was in a slump financial-wise, and as a result Kaufman re-organized the company as a TV station holding company. After this, Savoy put up its projects for sale, with Creator/NewLineCinema acquiring most of them and distributing them. Savoy's fate would be sealed when Barry Diller's IAC/Interactive Corporation acquired the company in 1997 with Silver King Broadcasting (also ran by Diller) bought the SF stations. |

New Line Cinema retained most of the films that they released, including ''The Stupids'' and ''The Adventures of Pinocchio''. |
