The company's first two releases, Once Upon a Time...When We Were Colored and Robert Wuhl 's Open Season , were shown at the Cannes Film Festival the same year it was established.[1] Afterwards, it became a leader in independent distribution, releasing an average of 15 films per year.
Notable films from the company included Little Men , Wedding Bell Blues , The Swan Princess: Escape from Castle Mountain , Shiloh (and its sequel, Shiloh Season ), and an animated version of Pippi Longstocking .
None of Legacy's output was successful financially. Its highest-grossing film, When We Were Colored , took close to $2.3 million at the U.S. box office. However, the home video business was booming at the time and was the economic engine of this company.[2]
In 1999, Legacy went out of business, and was successfully merged and consolidated into Warner Home Video . Borde went on to become co-president of another company, the short-lived Independent Artists.[3] As of 2006, Legacy's official site (legacyfilms.com) no longer exists.
Borde is now the head of Freestyle Releasing .[4] Williams is now the CEO of Marble Arch Entertainment.[5]
