'Pathé' is a major film production and distribution company, the company owns a number of cinema chains in Europe but mainly in France where the company was founded by the Pathé brothers in 1896. The company dates back to being the second oldest film company (that currently still operates) followed by recently acclaimed partners in the industry, the 'Gaumont Film Company'. Over the years the company has been responsible for many successful films, the most successful of all being 'Slumdog Millionaire' which won 8 oscars after its release in 2008, gaining $377.9 million at the box office with just a $15 million budget.
