Triumph Films (also known as Triumph Releasing Corporation) is a division of Sony Pictures Entertainment geared towards theatre and direct-to-video film production and distribution.
It was originally founded in 1982 as a joint venture between Columbia Pictures and the French company Gaumont to distribute foreign films in the US. In 1989, Triumph distributed films by Epic Productions Inc. (Not to be confused with Epic Records). Epic Productions was a production company created in 1988 by Crédit Lyonnais. Epic's library is currently owned by MGM, who acquired it from PolyGram after they acquired it from Crédit Lyonnais.
Notable films include: To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday, The Ambulance, Brainscan, Magic in the Water (co-released by TriStar Pictures), The Golden Laws, Steamboy and SuperBabies: Baby Geniuses 2.
After being shut down in 1997 (with Screen Gems replacing the original Triumph Films), the Triumph Films label was re-activated in 2003.

Famous quotes containing the words triumph and/or films:
“A villain must be a thing of power, handled with delicacy and grace. He must be wicked enough to excite our aversion, strong enough to arouse our fear, human enough to awaken some transient gleam of sympathy. We must triumph in his downfall, yet not barbarously nor with contempt, and the close of his career must be in harmony with all its previous development.”
—Agnes Repplier (1858–1950)
“Science fiction films are not about science. They are about disaster, which is one of the oldest subjects of art.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
