==History==
===Background===
GMA Network tested the movie waters by co-producing films with [[Viva Films]]. Among the movies that were co-produced were ''[[Ober Da Bakod|Ober Da Bakod: The Movie]]'', ''[[Forever (1994 film)|Forever]]'' and ''[[Sana Dalawa ang Puso Ko]]''.  Although not credited in the opening and closing credits of the movies, the network's logo appeared in the aforementioned movies' posters in theaters and newspaper ads.

===1995–2000: Early years===
[[File:GMACinemax.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Cinemax Studios logo used from 1995 to 1998.]]
In 1995, GMA Network launched its own film outfit '''Cinemax Studios''' under the supervision of [[Gilberto Duavit Jr.|Jimmy Duavit]] and Butch Jimenez, with ''[[Run Barbi Run]]'' (1995) as its maiden movie. Later that year, Cinemax signed a co-production deal with [[OctoArts Films]] in which OctoArts would distribute the movies in theaters nationwide, while Cinemax (through its mother network, GMA) would handle publicity and promotions of the movies for TV and radio. GMA Network holds the airing rights for those movies. Films co-produced with other production companies are distributed by Cinemax.<ref name="cinemax">{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=N91kAAAAMAAJ|last=Smith|first=Ronald|title=Pelikula: A Journal Of Philippine Cinema. Vol. 1, Issue 1|date=1999|publisher=UP College of Mass Communication Foundation|access-date=April 14, 2020|via=Google Books}}</ref>

In 1997, Cinemax began producing and distributing its own movies, beginning with ''Mga Bangka sa Tag-araw'' (later on known as ''[[Sa Pusod ng Dagat]]'') and Indios (later on known as ''[[My Guardian Debil]]''). At this time, it partnered with sister companies Film Experts and Optima Digital for production and post-production of its movies respectively.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=qJMVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=-AoEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6670%2C2520389|title=Special Effects Movie From Cinemax|pages=25|date=June 24, 1997|newspaper=[[Manila Standard]]|publisher=Philippine Manila Standard Publishing|access-date=May 18, 2022|via=Google News}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=wJgVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=9woEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6780%2C384593|last=Marchadesch|first=Barbara|title=GMA's Cinemax Offers Blueprint for Quality Films|pages=20|date=July 3, 1997|newspaper=[[Manila Standard]]|publisher=Philippine Manila Standard Publishing|access-date=May 18, 2022|via=Google News}}</ref>

In 1998, it changed its name to '''GMA Films''' after [[HBO (international)|HBO]]'s sister channel [[Cinemax (Asia)|Cinemax]] entered the Southeast Asian market. ''Sa Pusod ng Dagat'' and ''[[José Rizal (film)|José Rizal]]'', both produced and directed by [[Marilou Diaz-Abaya]]. GMA Films also produced ''[[Muro-Ami (film)|Muro-Ami]]'' and ''[[Deathrow (film)|Deathrow]]'', both which were entries at their respective MMFFs and also critically acclaimed.<ref name="cinemax"/>

On June 9, 1999, GMA Films locally distributed the anime film ''Voltes V: The Liberation'', produced by Carlos Agustin.<ref name="MSFPJ">{{cite news|last=Red|first=Isah V.|title=Can FPJ crack ''Voltes V''?|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=R5QVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=NAsEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6164%2C493173|access-date=July 14, 2022|work=[[Manila Standard]]|publisher=Kamahalan Publishing Corp.|date=June 4, 1999|page=22}}</ref>

In 2000, after the departure of Butch Jimenez from GMA Network, GMA Films was placed on hiatus. ''Deathrow'' was the last film produced.

===2004–2009: Comeback and Breakthrough===
In late 2004, GMA Films made its comeback, with ''[[Let the Love Begin (film)|Let the Love Begin]]'' as its first production. It became the highest-grossing Valentine film in the Philippines when it released in February 2005.

It later released other films that also became hits in the Philippine Box-office.

In 2007, the award-winning film [[Ouija (2007 film)|''Ouija'']] co-produced with [[Viva Films]] was supposed to be its first film to be released internationally. However, the scheduled overseas premieres in four U.S. cities (Las Vegas, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego) were cancelled. Only the one in New Jersey pushed through.<ref>[http://www.pep.ph/news/15246/Judy-Ann-Santos&], ''pep.ph'', n.d. Accessed last October 24, 2007.</ref> The movie is titled '''''Seance''''' internationally.

In 2009, GMA Films produced the reboot of the classic ''komiks'' novel [[Ang Panday (2009 film)|Ang Panday]] in partnership with Imus Productions.  Starring [[Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr.]] in the title role, it became the official entry of GMA Films and Imus Productions for the 2009 [[Metro Manila Film Festival]]. It became the festival's top grosser and won 6 major awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Revilla.

===2010–2012: Continued success===
From then on, all films were only released nationwide while selected films had selected screenings in key points worldwide such as ''[[When I Met U]]'', starring [[Richard Gutierrez]] and [[KC Concepcion]] had various international screenings and ''[[You to Me Are Everything (film)|You to Me Are Everything]]'', starring [[Marian Rivera]] and [[Dingdong Dantes]] had a New Jersey showing in 2010 and its recent film to be released at least within US borders was ''[[In Your Eyes (2010 film)|In Your Eyes]]'', starring [[Claudine Barretto]], [[Richard Gutierrez]] and [[Anne Curtis]], had an international screening in notable cities such as Los Angeles and San Diego.

During the 2010 Metro Manila Film Festival, GMA Films' entry ''[[Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote]]'' became the top grosser. The film starred [[Vic Sotto]] and [[Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr.]] and was a joint production with Imus Productions, M-Zet Production, Octo Arts Films and APT Entertainment.

On May 11, 2012, ''[[The Road (2011 Movie)|The Road]]'' was released to theaters in the U.S. and Canada.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gmanews.tv/story/224079/entertainment/the-road-bagong-horror-suspense-movie-ng-gma-films|title='The Road,' bagong horror-suspense movie ng GMA Films|website=gmanews.tv|date=June 21, 2011 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.abante.com.ph/issue/feb1912/ent_jg.htm |title=Abante Online &#124; Entertainment |website=[[Abante]] |access-date=February 18, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120423133054/http://www.abante.com.ph/issue/feb1912/ent_jg.htm |archive-date=April 23, 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

2012 is the year that GMA Films has produced eight films in a year, the most it has ever done since its very start. This was part of GMA Films' resolution to produce one film per month. Even though that did not happen, they managed to produce eight films. On the same year, It made their own first venture for television was [[Cielo de Angelina]] on the morning slot.

===2013–2014: Decline===
In 2013, GMA Films produced only 2 feature film, ''Dance of the Steelbars'' and ''[[My Lady Boss]]''.  Both films performed less than its previous films last year despite a star-studded cast.

In 2014, the film outfit produced the horror-thriller ''[[Basement (2014 film)|Basement]]'', the action-thriller ''[[Overtime (film)|Overtime]]'' and the [[40th Metro Manila Film Festival]] entry ''[[Kubot: The Aswang Chronicles 2]]'', which won 5 major awards.

===2015–2016: AlDub phenomenon===
With the popularity of the [[AlDub]] love team ([[Alden Richards]] and [[Maine Mendoza]]) rising to phenomenal heights in 2015, GMA Films partnered with Octo Arts Films, M-Zet Productions, APT Entertainment and MEDA Productions to produce [[My Bebe Love: KiligPaMore|My Bebe Love: #KiligPaMore]] as entry to the [[41st Metro Manila Film Festival]].  The hottest love team was joined by [[Vic Sotto]] and [[Ai-Ai delas Alas]], directed by [[Jose Javier Reyes]].  The movie figured in a tight race with another MMFF entry, [[Beauty and the Bestie]] for the top spot at the box-office.  The movie eventually earned P385 million, breaking box-office records.  The said movie also earned 3 major awards, including Best Supporting Actress for Maine Mendoza.

In 2016, GMA Films partnered with [[APT Entertainment]] and [[M-Zet Productions]] for the movie ''[[Imagine You and Me]]'', which marked the second team-up of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza.  Shot mostly in [[Como]] and [[Verona]] in Italy, the movie was directed by Mike Tuviera.  It was also one of the only two films (the other one is the film adaptation of Angels & Demons by Dan Brown) permitted to shoot in Verona.

Upon the movie's release on July 13, 2016, the film grossed over ₱12.8 million on the first six hours of opening day and it went on to gross over ₱21.5 million at the end of the day. It was 2016's highest opening gross for a Philippine film until it was surpassed by the Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla starrer [[Barcelona: A Love Untold]], which grossed ₱23 million according to Star Cinema.
