National General Pictures

National General Pictures

National General Pictures was a Distribution and Film production company which was active between 1967 and 1973. NGP produced nine motion pictures inhouse and was the distributor of eighty films.

In 1967 the American CBS television network decided to produce their own films for cinema release with a production unit called Cinema Center Films, releasing films through the National General Corporation, a film distribution network. The American ABC television network had done the same thing with Cinerama.[1] When the company failed to acquire Warner Bros. in 1969 the unit eventually closed, distributing films until 1973.

Today, the in-house productions are at the hands of Warner Bros., while the Cinema Center Films productions are now with CBS (with Paramount Pictures handling theatrical distribution on CBS' behalf, and Paramount Home Entertainment/CBS DVD handling home video rights).
