AMLF (Agence méditerranéenne de location de films) from 1972 to 1998). On home video, their films are distributed by Fox Pathé Europa, a joint venture between Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, Pathé and EuropaCorp. United Kingdom From the beginning of the 80's, Pathé released their movies through Guild Film Distribution and Guild Home Video. After Pathé purchased Guild in 1996, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment (later Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment) took over as the home video distributor, while the then-renamed Guild Pathé Cinema took over theatrically, which was eventually renamed as Pathé Distribution in 1998. Guild Home Video remained as an in-name only dormant business of Pathé until folding on 17 December 2019. In 2009, Pathé closed their standalone distribution unit in the UK and instead partnered up with Warner Bros. Pictures to instead release their own produced movies and Pedro Almodóvar's movies theatrically after the U.S. failure of Doogal and the U.K. failure of The Hottie and the Nottie, causing two of their films Chatroom and Dead Man Running being transferred to the now defunct UK distributor Revolver Entertainment and The Illusionist in 2010 being their last standalone distributor film to date, while retaining 20th Century Fox as the home video distributor. On 1 February 2011, Fox took over as Pathé's theatrical distributor as well. With the purchase of 20th Century Fox from The Walt Disney Company on 20 March 2019, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures took over distributing Pathé's material, releasing Misbehaviour and The Human Voice. On 7 June 2021, it was announced that Warner Bros. Pictures would return to distributing Pathé films in the UK after the then-current deal with Disney expired on 30 June 2021 with the first films being released under the new deal being Parallel Mothers and The Duke. Unlike the 2009 deal, this new deal will include home video and digital rights as well, which Fox/Disney previously handled.
