History
Establishment
The company has its origins in the music distributor Records on Wheels Limited (which was established in 1970), and the music retail chain CD Plus. The chain was in the process of acquiring other companies to bolster its wholesale operations in music and home video, leading to its purchase of ROW in 2001. Its vice president of operations,
Darren Throop

, had joined the company after CD Plus acquired his Halifax-based record store chain Urban Sound Exchange. The combined company later became known as ROW Entertainment, with Throop as president and CEO. The company listed itself on the
Toronto Stock Exchange as an
income trust, meaning that its taxes were paid by its shareholders, rather than the company itself.
Afterward, ROW began to diversify its operations into content ownership. In June 2005, it acquired the American independent music distributor and home entertainment publisher
Koch Entertainment.
Afterwards, it was re-incorporated as Entertainment One Income Fund.
In 2007, the company accepted a $188 million public equity takeover by Marwyn Investment Management to fund its expansion; the company was listed on London's
Alternative Investment Market as Entertainment One Ltd.
Expansion
In 2007, Entertainment One acquired Montreal-based film distributor
Seville Pictures and UK distributor Contender Entertainment Group. The same year, the company secured its first film output agreement with
Summit Entertainment, handling distribution in Canada and the United Kingdom, and acquired British film distributor Contender Entertainment.
Acquisitions continued in 2008 with the purchase of the Benelux distributor RCV Entertainment.
The same year, eOne acquired the television studios Blueprint and Barna-Alper, and international television distributor Oasis International.
Throop stated that the company was attempting to "replicate the success of
Alliance Atlantis", with a focus on diversifying into production alongside distribution. Also in 2008, the company listed itself on the
