Cinergi Pictures Entertainment Inc. was a small independent production company that was founded by
Andrew G. Vajna, after he had sold his interest in his first production company,
Carolco International Pictures, in 1989. The company had a number of major hit films, most notably
Die Hard with a Vengeance in 1995. However, the majority of their films lost money. A string of
box office bombs - including
Color of Night,
Judge Dredd,
The Scarlet Letter,
Nixon,
Shadow Conspiracy,
Deep Rising and
An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn - ultimately undid the company, and it closed in 1998.
