Concorde Entertainment Group, also known as Concorde Film, was a film distributor active in the Benelux and Netherlands Antilles. In 1998, it filed for bankruptcy following a conflict with Holland Media Groep and Miramax Films.
History In 1998, Holland Media Groep demanded that Concorde to pay a loan of 3.6 million guilders plus 700,000 in interest. When Concorde refused, HMG seized the company's assets. In turn, Miramax, which licensed 31 titles to Concorde, also demanded payment and canceled their license to distribute The English Patient, instead selling the film to RCV Entertainment.
In April, Miramax, along with several creditors filed a bankruptcy application against Concorde, on 12 May, the Hague court declared Concorde Entertainment Group bankrupt. In July, the bankruptcy was suspended for a month by the Court of Appeal in The Hague. In October however, the court rejected the appeal.
In May 1999, Concorde's assets, along with the rights of 150 film titles were acquired by Indies Film Distribution. On 4 September 2001, founder Robbert Wijsmuller died aged 61.
In 2006, Indies launched a DVD label under the label "Concorde Film Presents", named after the company.
