I've seen this studio referred both ways.  Even in their webpage, they mix the usage.  So which is it?

Their films in my database all seem to say "Lions Gate Films" in the actual credits.

Those where they're the media company all have "Lions Gate Home Entertainment" spelled out in the small print on the back, even when it's accompanied by a logo in the LIONSGATE form.

Lionsgate, unfortunately isn't always consistent.  When they only use the single word, more often than not, it is 'Lionsgate'.  When they add 'Films' or 'Home Entertainment', it is 'Lions Gate'.

We want the actual studio name, so I always use 'Lions Gate Films' or 'Lions Gate Home Entertainment'.

How about introducing a Credited As feature, with an appropriate CLT tool of course---

It depends on when the film was released, as Lions Gate went to Lionsgate a few years back IIRC.

The best I can tell, the Martian is correct. It seems when it's just Lionsgate, it's one word. When they add a modifier, it becomes 2 words more often than not. Just my 2 cents.
