Explanatory Note This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.’s (the “Company,” “Lionsgate,” “we,” “us” or “our”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2011, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 31, 2011 (the “Original Filing”). This Amendment is being filed to amend the Original Filing to include the information required by Items 10 through 14 of Part III of Form 10-K, which information was previously omitted from the Original Filing in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K. General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K permits the information in the above referenced items to be included in the Form 10-K filing by incorporation by reference from our definitive proxy statement if such statement is filed no later than 120 days after our fiscal year-end. We will file our definitive proxy statement outside such 120-day period and therefore, we are filing this Amendment to include Part III information in our Form 10-K. The reference on the cover of the Original Filing to the incorporation by reference to portions of our definitive proxy statement into Part III of the Original Filing is hereby deleted. In accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Part III, Items 10 through 14 of the Original Filing are hereby amended and restated in their entirety, and Part IV, Item 15 of the Original Filing is hereby amended and restated in its entirety. This Amendment No. 1 does not amend or otherwise update any other information in the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the Original Filing. This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing or modify or update disclosures affected by subsequent events. TABLE OF CONTENTS Page PART III Item 10.

Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules 49 FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Amendment includes statements that are, or may deemed to be, “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These forward looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “estimates,” “potential,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “would” or “should” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this Amendment and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and the industry in which we operate. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We believe that these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those discussed under Part I, Item 1.A. “Risk Factors” found in the Original Filing. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read with the other cautionary statements and information in the Original Filing and this Amendment. We caution you that forward-looking statements made in this Amendment or anywhere else are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate may differ materially and adversely from those made in or suggested by the forward looking statements contained in this Amendment as a result of various important factors, including, but not limited to, the substantial investment of capital required to produce and market films and television series, increased costs for producing and marketing feature films and television series, budget overruns, limitations imposed by our credit facilities and notes, unpredictability of the commercial success of our motion pictures and television programming, risks related to our acquisition strategy and integration of acquired businesses, the effects of dispositions of businesses or assets, including individual films or libraries, the cost of defending our intellectual property, difficulties in integrating acquired businesses, technological changes and other trends affecting the entertainment industry, and the other risks and uncertainties discussed under Part I, Item 1.A. “Risk Factors” found in the Original Filing. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward looking statements contained in this Amendment, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. Any forward-looking statements, which we make in this Amendment, speak only as of the date of such statement, and we undertake no obligation to update such statements. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to the “Company,” “Lionsgate,” “we,” “us,” and “our” include reference to our subsidiaries as well. PART III ITEM 10.
