Gold Circle Films was a subsidiary of Gold Circle Entertainment, which was founded in 1996 by Norman Waitt Jr., one of the co-founders of Gateway, Inc. The original company was launched as an umbrella organization where Gold Circle would help market and distribute music releases for record labels. Waitt launched the film division in May 2000.
Gold Circle was turned down, as well as DreamWorks Pictures, in an offer to produce Twisted's indie film, Saw, as Lionsgate would end up purchasing the rights and made it a huge success, spawning a franchise of films.
In 2011, Blumhouse (studio behind franchises such as Paranormal Activity, Sinister, The Purge, Unfriended, and Happy Death Day) joined forces with Gold Circle to create Angle Films.
