SM Pictures (Korean: 에스엠픽쳐스) was a South Korean DVD distribution and film import company under SM Entertainment. It was founded on February 5, 1999, as Bitwin under Arcom Studio and was later acquired by SM before its company renaming. The company consequently closed down after losses, and by June 13, 2008, SM had transferred its remaining stake to Premier Entertainment (later PRE-GM and Candle Media).
