CJ Entertainment (CJ 엔터테인먼트) is a South Korean film and television company that acquires, produces and distributes over 3,000 titles for the Korean market and the world, and a branch of Korean food company and conglomerate CJ Group. Being South Korea's largest entertainment company, it played an important role in the rise of the South Korean film industry. The success of their own films after the 2000 film Chunhyang, most notably Joint Security Area that broke the Korean box office records previously set by Shiri, helped the company in becoming one of the two largest film companies in the country along with Kang Woo-suk's Cinema Service.

The company was formed in 1995 after CJ invested in DreamWorks Pictures and acquired select distribution rights to DW's titles in Korea and Asia. Initially, the company distributed acquisitions but in 2004, the company started producing local productions. After DreamWorks was spun off into two in 2004, DreamWorks Animation would have their titles distributed by CJ in that region and distribution of DreamWorks Pictures titles would move to UIP.

In 2007, CJ began distributing titles from Paramount Pictures in that region. CJ's deal with Paramount lasted until 2015 when Lotte Cultureworks took over distribution of Paramount titles in Korea and the DWA arrangement would last until late-2017 when Universal's Korean branch would take over distribution rights of DWA titles in that region from CJ due to Universal's purchase of DWA being completed the year prior.

Logo: On a space background, we see two comets colored red and blue respectively, flying and spinning. When the stars reach the center, they make a sparkling explosion that reveals the Cheil Jedang logo from the 1990s with two circles colored red and blue appearing up and down the text. The logo zooms in and reveals a huge light that becomes a green line. On the top-left corner is the company logo, while on the low-right the text "CJ ENTERTAINMENT" wipes in via a light. Under that is its Korean translation

Variants:

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A synth orchestral tune.

Availiability: Extinct. Used to appear on early movies distributed by the company and some educational VHS tapes.

Logo: We see a starfield with a comet flying across. Suddenly all stars fold into a glowing silver bundle, which then moves and spreads them out. The stars form the 3D blue name "CJ ENTERTAINMENT" seen in perspective, while the bundle goes to the far end and freezes there. The red dot flies over the logo and colors it into silver, stopping above the bundle and coloring it red.

Variants:

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A synthesized woodwind and bell theme.

Availability: Uncommon. Can be seen on early films by the company, such as The Way Home and Memories of Murder. The short variant is more common and was spotted on VCD releases of its productions.

Logo: We start at a night sea landscape, colored in deep blue. Three children jump around and play with fireworks on a rocky peninsula. Three colored splashes blast from their fireworks and proceed up, while the camera follows them, then stops and lets the splashes to pass on. We then have a view from below, watching these splashes reaching the sky and exploding there, forming three oval figures - red, blue and orange. The company name (set in Bernhard Modern) poses around it and it glows with the background later clearing out.

Variants:

Technique: A great combination of CGI and live-action.

Music/Sounds: A short string entry as the children giggle and the fireworks pop, progressing into a massively beautiful, rising orchestral tune. We then hear some fireworks sparkle, followed by another string note and a 5-note chime sounder.

Music/Sounds Trivia: The rising part of the theme is actually a piece of production music from EastWest's "Scoring Tools" sample CD, used in many cartoons, Nine Network's 2001 "Still the One" campaign, and Tyne Tees Television's "Millennium" ident.

Music/Sounds Variant: A few films, such as Parasite, have part of the opening theme from the film.

Availability: No longer current, but still common on Korean releases, which can be on sale worldwide, such as Sophie's Revenge, A Man Who Was Superman, and I'm a Cyborg but That's OK.

Logo: On an ocean at nighttime, a yellow light flies as the camera pans up to reveal a refined version of the same peninsula and children from the previous logo, with each firework colored red, blue and yellow. As the three children set off their fireworks, the camera pans up and follows them, which spin and explode to form the dots, with "CJ" and "ENM" fading in between the logo, like the 2021 variant of the previous logo.

Closing Title: Simply the final seconds of the previous logo, starting when the company name fades in.

Variants:

Technique: A remake of the previous logo, entirely redone in CGI by Elastic.

Music/Sounds: A soft piano tune, then the sounds of children giggling, with the end sounding much better than before. This is followed by a string piece and the explosion of the fireworks. A 6-note tune is heard as "CJ ENM" fades in.
