Yari Film Group

Background

Yari Film Group Releasing was a Los Angeles-based movie company started in 2005, when Bob Yari consolidated his film banners (namely Bull's Eye Entertainment, El Camino Pictures, and Bob Yari Productions) into one brand. In December 2008, the company filed for bankruptcy, which ultimately made them stop producing films; however, the company surprisingly returned in 2016 with Papa: Hemingway in Cuba, only to go back into hiatus. The rights to a majority of their films are owned by Moonstone Entertainment, with FilmRise owning the streaming rights to them.

On the trailer for Haven, the logo is placed against an ocean.
On Crash: The Series and Papa: Hemingway in Cuba, the "RELEASING" text is removed.
A still version of this variant also appeared on Crash: The Series.
The logo can be varying levels of dark or dim on some films, like The Accidental Husband, The Illusionist, Resurrecting the Champ and Nothing But the Truth.
On the trailer for The Perfect Holiday, it's Christmas-themed.
