American-British-Canadian Pictures

American-British-Canadian Pictures (ABC) is an American film production and distribution company subsidiary of ArgosyMTM Group. Its original incarnation was founded in 1910 as American Film Manufacturing Company, 1911 as British film studio British Film Studio, 1912 as Canadian film distribution company Canadian Film Distribution Company, 1921 as American-British studio American-British Pictures, and 1924 as its current name.

American-British-Canadian was originally one of the largest “mini-major” film studios in the world until 1987, when the studio was sold to TVS Entertainment, and was folded into Judy Garland Pictures in 1989.

In 2009, Argosy Communications revived the American-British-Canadian name as a specialty film company, similar to Sony Pictures Classics.
