Hollywood Pictures is one of The Walt Disney Company 's subsidiary Movie Studio s. Like Touchstone Pictures , another Disney studio, it produces films for a primarily adult audience. Its first release was '' Arachnophobia '' (1990). While Disney chief Michael Eisner at first intended Hollywood Pictures to be a full-fledged studio, like Touchstone, in recent years its operations have been scaled back and its management has been merged with the flagship Walt Disney Pictures studio. Its most profitable film to date is '' The Sixth Sense '', which grossed over 200 million dollars at the North American box office. The brand has recently been rescurrected as a distrubtor of genre films; the first film under the restructuring is the horror film '' Stay Alive ''. William Brent and Matthew Peterman have said, "The cool thing is Buena Vista Distribution is releasing ''Stay Alive'' on the Hollywood Pictures label. If they are happy with the outcome of the movie, Buena Vista may re-launch Hollywood Pictures as their version of Dimension or Screen Gems " {Link without Title} . Many film critics criticize the quality of the movies produced by Hollywood Pictures, thus earning the motto, "''If it's the Sphinx, it stinks''" (referring to the use of the Sphinx for its Company Logo ).
