Should this be included as a media company?

Media companies seem to be my shakiest field, brain doesn't always grasp what should or shouldn't be listed.

In Canada, Entertainment One distributes a lot of blu-rays these days.

The back cover usually has this:

"Artwork & Supplementary Materials © 2014 (Insert Studio like Summit Entertainment here). All Rights Reserved. © 2014 Entertainment One Films Canada Inc. All Rights Reserved. Distributed exclusively in Canada by Entertainment One."

What belongs in the media company fields?

Summit Entertainment (as an example)
Entertainment One Films Canada
Entertainment One

or

Summit Entertainment (as an example)
Entertainment One

or

Entertainment One

or a different combo?

Right now I have about 25% in my collection with Entertainment One Films Canada listed, and the other 75% with it omitted. Would just like to make them all match up to what's supposed to be entered.

Thanks in advance!

Merely Entertainment One. The Canada suffix is not allowed per the rules ("Omit any locality-specific suffix."). Artwork studios are not to be entered.

Because that's not the name of the company.

"Because that's not the name of the company."

Sure, but there are different divisions: eOne Films, eOne Television, eOne Music.......
Just like Warner Bros.......Warner Bros. Pictures, Warner Bros. Records, Warner Home Video, Warner Books.....

"Artwork studios are not to be entered."

Summit Entertainment was/is a film production company/film distributor, not an ``artwork`studio`` .
In Invelosworld.... (for a Entertainment One Canadian DVD of a US Summit Entertainment production/release) Summit Entertainment gets entered into the studio field, Entertainment One into the media company field.

From the rules: "Some companies (using similar but different names) may serve more than one function. List such companies only once".

I know what Summit does, but the original poster mentioned in his question: ""Artwork & Supplementary Materials © 2014 (Insert Studio like Summit Entertainment here). "
So Summit was used - by him, not by me - as an example of an art studio. And that's the question I replied to. Moreover, I never mentioned Summit in any of my previous posts.

Excuse me for trying to help out a fellow user. Next time around, I'll ask for your permission first, right?
