The company also distributed The Brother from Another Planet and Salaam Bombay!. Its highest-grossing release was 1985's A Room with a View.[3] Cinecom closed operations in 1991 after it filed for bankruptcy; Crédit Lyonnais acquired the company's film library the following year, licensing worldwide distribution rights to the library to October Films.[4] Although the Cinecom library was acquired by MGM Studios, who purchased Crédit Lyonnais' film library from PolyGram Filmed Entertainment in 1999, much of its films have since been acquired by third parties.
