Gaylord Films

Background

Gaylord Films was the main film division of Gaylord Entertainment Company (now Ryman Hospitality Properties), formed in 2000 after Gaylord acquired French film company Pandora Cinema. It entered a multi-year co-financing venture with Warner Bros. Pictures in 2002. In 2006, Gaylord sold several of their subsidiaries, with their film divisions going to Qualia Capital, who merged Gaylord and Pandora with Rysher Entertainment to form Qualia Libraries (now owned by Village Roadshow through Vine Alternative Investments).
