Clarius Entertainment

Clarius Entertainment was a film distribution company launched in 2010 by several former film studio executives, such as William K. Sadleir, Louise Chater and Claire Heath. Its first acquisition was the Korean animated feature film Dino Time, which wound up not being released. The film was finally released by Alchemy as Back to the Jurassic in 2015. The company released three films in 2014 and none of them were hits at the box office. Clarius Entertainment's financing source, Macquarie, subsequently exited the film business, having suffered substantial losses from its loans to bankrupt Relativity Media. Without a replacement financing source, they were forced to abandon three other films they were going to distribute. Sadleir and Heath later left the company to form the new distribution outlet Aviron Pictures, and they transferred Clarius' final film, My All-American, to home media. Clarius has since ceased operations.
