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:
“I am thankful to God for this approval of the people. But while deeply grateful for this mark of their confidence in me, if I know my heart, my gratitude is free from any taint of personal triumph. I do not impugn the motives of any one opposed to me. It is no pleasure to me to triumph over any one.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Right now I think censorship is necessary; the things they’re doing and saying in films right now just shouldn’t be allowed. There’s no dignity anymore and I think that’s very important.”
—Mae West (1892–1980)
