High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Midnite Movies is a line of B movies released first on VHS then on DVD by MGM Home Entertainment then later Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The line was begun by MGM in March 2001 following its acquisition of Orion Pictures, which bought out Filmways, Inc., the owner of American International Pictures. AIP had a library of B movies from the 1950s and 1960s that were science fiction, horror, and exploitation films. The DVDs were first released as single films but most later releases would be double features. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment later became owners of the MGM library and continued the Midnite Movies line with distributor 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. As of 2011 no releases have been announced and with previous catalog titles slowly going out-of-print and the website being taken down it has been assumed that the "Midnite Movies" line has been discontinued.
