Cinerama Releasing Corporation, or CRC, is a defunct motion picture company established in 1952 that originally released films produced by its namesake parent company for major Hollywood studios (e.g. MGM's How the West Was Won and Warner Brothers' Battle of the Bulge).
In 1963, the owner of the Pacific Coast Theatre chain purchased CRC to be an independent distributor of widescreen motion pictures produced by Cinerama, various foreign films and ABC Circle Films, the film production unit of the American Broadcasting Company.[1] Films made under the CRC banner include They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, Straw Dogs, and Walking Tall. ABC Circle films ended in 1973, the last production of CRC was released in 1974.
Though CRC closed operations during 1974, its productions and reissues were temporarily handled by American International Pictures.
Film Library
CRC merely was distributor of films, without retaining copyright stakes over each productions. Therefore, the rights to a number of CRC's films are scattered and rest with the production companies:
