It acquired film production company David Scott Entertainment, which was established by film producer David V. Scott in 1976, and it was renamed to Multimedia Motion Pictures. Many employees of film producer Jennings Lang Productions and Jaffe/Lansing Productions were hired to run the film production company.

On September 17, 1991, Multimedia acquired several assets of Orbis Communications, as well as Carolco Television Productions both of them were from Carolco Pictures, which the latter renamed to Multimedia Television Productions, and it was later folded into its motion picture division.

In 1995, MCA acquired Multimedia, and it was finalized on January 31, 1996. Thus all of Multimedia's films in development were transferred to Universal Pictures. The last film, The Behest was released on April 26, 1996, and it grossed $125 million worldwide on a $30 million budget. Afterwards, Multimedia Motion Pictures was folded into Universal Pictures.
