In 1997, the UA name was dropped from MGM/UA Home Entertainment, renaming it to MGM Home Entertainment. The assets of the former Orion Home Video was transferred to MGM itself, as well as picking up the pre-1996 PolyGram film library.
In 2000, following the end of their Warner Home Video deal, MGM began releasing their products internationally through 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, although they reinstated full distribution rights in some regions in 2003.
Following MGM's acquisition by the Sony-led consortium in 2005, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment began distributing the MGM library on home video until May 31, 2006, when MGM shifted most of its home entertainment output to 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment for worldwide release (although Sony and Fox traded off releases throughout the rest of the year as part of a transitional period). TCFHE's worldwide distribution deal with MGM continued until June 2020. In the studio's financial report that same year, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment was named as MGM's new distributor.
As of late 2022 in the United States, MGM releases are distributed on home media by Studio Distribution Services, with United Artists Releasing titles initially through Universal Pictures Home Entertainment (from Operation Finale to On the Count of Three and the eventual 26th James Bond film) and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment for all catalog releases and United Artists Releasing titles since Three Thousand Years of Longing to its end in April 2023, finally unifying all of the MGM catalog titles (along with the legacy UA catalog) under the same roof for the first time in over two decades.
