Lionsgate Has Elected to End Listing on Toronto Stock Exchange

Primary Source of Company's Trading Volume Is on New York Stock Exchange

SANTA MONICA, Calif. and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 2
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lionsgate (NYSE:LGF), the leading independent filmed entertainment studio, has elected to end its listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The termination was effective July 31, 2006.

The Company's decision was prompted by continued low trading volume of Lionsgate stock on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the Company's resulting desire to avoid the costs associated with multiple exchange listings. Lionsgate has traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol LGF since August 2004, the primary source of its trading volume.

Lionsgate is the leading independent filmed entertainment studio, winning this year's Best Picture Academy Award(R) for CRASH, and the Company is a premier producer and distributor of motion pictures, television programming, home entertainment, family entertainment and video-on-demand content. Its prestigious and prolific library of more than 5,500 titles is a valuable source of recurring revenue and a foundation for the growth of the Company's core businesses. The Lionsgate brand is synonymous with original, daring, quality entertainment in markets around the globe.
