Just out of curiosity, my set seems to have an odd combination.

Constantin Films = Germany
Davis-Films = France
Impact Pictures = US
New Legacy = UK

Although the back of the UK Blu-ray collection lists countries of co-production under each movie and mention Canada also. I don't have my copy on me right now as lent it to a mate to double check...

OK, since I'm not versed in the whole Studio/MC thing, I just scribbled down what I have so far.

I have the British DVD and Blu-ray of Resident Evil. Most credits are the same but both movies start differently:

The DVD starts with opening credits

Constantin Film [Logo]
Metropolitan Films [Logo]

The Blu-ray starts with

Screen Gems [Logo]

Then both movies agree on:

Constantin Film    Davis Films
present


The end credits state:

A German/British Co-Production
Constantin Film
New Legacy Film
Davis Films
In Association With
Impact Pictures


So am I to assume that Screen Gems and Metropolitan Films are some sort of Media Company?

and going by the end credits the CoO would be Constantin [de], New Legacy Film [uk], Davis Films [fr]

Or does take Davis Films [fr] take precedence because it was in the openening credits (NLF was not)?

Going on with the second movie Resident Evil: Apocalypse which I only have as Blu-ray:

Opening:

Screen Gems [Logo]
Davis Films [Logo]  Impact (Canada) [Logo]
Constantin Film [Logo]

Screen Gems
[next page]
Davis Films / Impact (Canada) Inc.
Constantin Film (UK) Limited
present


End:

A
Davis Films / Impact (Canada) Inc.
Constantin Film (UK) Limited
Production


What's the CoO verdict here? Is Impact CoO = CA or because it's a subsidiary of Impact Pictures it's CoO = US? The same with Constantin which is originally a DE company.

FR, CA, UK?
FR, US, DE?

Not MCs, Theatrical Release companies.  Screen Gems for the US, Metropolitan for France.

I know it is much-maligned around here, but IMDb can usually help you sort out the company credits.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

I tried to submit CoOs for these (Region A anyway.) and got mixed responses. We only have 3 spots and in many cases for the Resident Evil (Live Action) Franchise we have a minimum of four if not five CoOs. I met with some resistance on two of them so I withdrew them all. (better none than some, I guess.)
