CIC Video

CIC Video

CIC Video (pronounced "kick", though many spelled out its letters) was a home video distributor, owned by Cinema International Corporation (the forerunner of United International Pictures), and operated in some countries (such as France, Germany, Sweden, Australia and the UK) by local operators. Outside of North America, it distributed films by Universal Studios (now owned by NBC Universal/General Electric) and Paramount Pictures (now owned by Viacom), CIC's partners.

In 1999, CIC Video was dissolved when Universal purchased PolyGram and reorganized its video division under the Universal name. Paramount Home Entertainment became CIC's successor.

Australia

CIC Video was operated in Australia (where it was known as CIC-Taft Home Video) by the Taft-Hardie joint venture (now Southern Star Group), and also distributed some Southern Star and Hanna-Barbera product under other labels.
