DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION [Abstract]
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	NOTE 1.	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
	Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
	RLJ Entertainment, Inc. (or RLJE) is a global entertainment company with a direct presence in North America, the United Kingdom (or U.K.) and Australia and sublicense and distribution relationships covering Europe, Asia and Latin America.  RLJE was incorporated in Nevada in April 2012. On October 3, 2012, we completed the business combination of RLJE, Image Entertainment, Inc. (or Image) and Acorn Media Group, Inc. (or Acorn Media), which is referred to herein as the “Business Combination.”  Acorn Media includes its subsidiaries RLJE International Ltd (or RLJE U.K.), RLJ Entertainment Australia Pty Ltd. (or RLJE Australia) and RLJ Entertainment Ltd (or RLJE Ltd.).  In February 2012, Acorn Media acquired a 64% ownership of Agatha Christie Limited (or ACL).  References to Image include its wholly-owned subsidiary Image/Madacy Home Entertainment, LLC.  “We,” “our” or “us” refers to RLJE and its subsidiaries unless otherwise noted.  Our principal executive offices are located in Silver Spring, Maryland, with additional locations in Woodland Hills, California, and Stillwater, Minnesota, and international locations in London, England and Sydney, Australia.
	We acquire content rights in various categories including, British mysteries and dramas, urban programming, and full-length independent motion pictures.  We acquire this content in two ways:
		§	Through long-term exclusive licensing agreements where we secure multiple rights to third-party programs, and;
		§	Through development, production, and ownership of original drama television programming through our wholly-owned subsidiary, RLJE Ltd., and our majority-owned subsidiary, ACL, as well as fitness programs through our Acacia brand.
	We exploit our products through a multi-channel strategy encompassing (1) the licensing of original drama and mystery content managed and developed through our wholly-owned subsidiary, RLJE Ltd., and our majority-owned subsidiary, ACL, (IP Licensing segment); (2) wholesale exploitation through partners covering broadcast/cable, digital, online, and brick and mortar outlets (Wholesale segment); and (3) direct relations with consumers via proprietary e-commerce, catalog, and subscription-based video on demand (or SVOD) channels (Direct-to-Consumer segment).
	Our wholesale partners are broadcasters, digital outlets and major retailers in the United States of America (or U.S.), Canada, U.K. and Australia, including, among others, Amazon, Netflix, Walmart, Target, Costco, Barnes & Noble, iTunes, BET, Showtime, PBS, DirecTV, and Hulu.
	Our Direct-to-Consumer segment includes the sale of video content and complementary merchandise directly to consumers through proprietary e-commerce websites, and catalogs and the continued roll-out of our proprietary subscription-based SVOD channels, such as Acorn TV, Acacia TV and UMC (Urban Movie Channel).
	RLJE’s management views the operations of the Company based on these three distinctive reporting segments: (1) Intellectual Property (or IP) Licensing; (2) Wholesale; and (3) Direct-to-Consumer.  Operations and net assets that are not associated with any of these stated segments are reported as “Corporate” when disclosing and discussing segment information.  The IP Licensing segment includes intellectual property rights that we own or create and then sublicense for exploitation worldwide.  Our Wholesale and Direct-to-Consumer segments consist of the acquisition, content enhancement and worldwide exploitation of exclusive content in various formats, including broadcast (including cable and satellite), DVD, Blu-ray, digital, video-on-demand (or VOD), SVOD, downloading and sublicensing.  The Wholesale segment exploits content through third-party vendors, while the Direct-to-Consumer segment exploits the same content and complementary merchandise directly to consumers through our proprietary e-commerce websites, mail-order catalogs and digitally streaming channels.
	Basis of Presentation
	Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
	The financial information presented in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2015 and for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (or U.S. GAAP) and with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (or SEC) instructions for interim financial reporting instructions for the Form 10-Q (or Form 10-Q) and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete audited financial statements.
	In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Due to the seasonal nature of our business, with a disproportionate amount of sales occurring in the fourth quarter and other factors, including our content release schedule, interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.  The accompanying unaudited financial information should, therefore, be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on May 8, 2015 (or the 2014 Form 10-K).  Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2014 Form 10-K contains a summary of our significant accounting policies.  As of March 31, 2015, no material changes to our significant accounting policies disclosed in our 2014 Form 10-K have been made.
	Accounting and Reporting Pronouncements Adopted
	On April 7, 2015 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-3, Interest – Imputation of Interest (the Update).  The Update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts.  The amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  We will be adopting this Update beginning January 1, 2016 by applying the new guidance on a retroactive period basis.  As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we have unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, that is currently recorded within prepaid expenses and other assets.
	Reclassifications and Adjustment
	Certain amounts reported previously in our consolidated financial statements have been reclassified or adjusted to be comparable with the classifications used for our 2015 consolidated financial statements.  We are now reporting our cost of sales in two components, which are (a) content amortization and royalties, and (b) manufacturing and fulfillment.  We are now reporting the change in the fair value of our stock warrants as a separate line item within our statement of operations. We are now reporting amortization of deferred financing costs as interest expense.  Previously, we were reporting amortization of deferred financing costs as general and administrative expenses.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The operations of ACL are entirely managed by RLJE, subject to oversight by ACL’s Board of Directors. The investment in ACL is accounted for using the equity method of accounting given the voting control of the Board of Directors by the minority shareholder. We have included our share of ACL’s operating results, using the equity method of accounting, in our consolidated financial statements.
	Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiary companies, except for ACL. Investment in ACL is carried as a separate asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at cost adjusted for our share of the equity in undistributed earnings. Except for dividends and changes in ownership interest, changes in equity in undistributed earnings of ACL are separately reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
	Liquidity
	For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we recognized a net loss of $10.6 million and $10.1 million, respectively.  During the three months ended March 31, 2015 we had a net decrease in cash of $3.5 million of which $3.1 million was from cash used in operating activities.   At March 31, 2015, our cash balance was $3.1 million.  At March 31, 2015, we had $80.7 million of term debt outstanding (see Note 7, Debt).  We continue to experience liquidity constraints and we are dependent upon growth in sales and margins to meet our liquidity needs and our debt covenants for the next twelve months.  There can be no assurances that we will be successful in realizing this growth or meeting our future covenant requirements within our Credit Agreement.  To address our liquidity risk we completed, subsequent to March 31, 2015, a $31.0 million capital restructuring transaction (see Note 14, Subsequent Events) that addressed two fundamental areas: (a) deleveraging the balance sheet and (b) providing new working capital.  As part of the capital restructure, we amended our Credit Agreement and other notes payable by (i) reducing our minimum cash requirement by $2.5 million, thus making this cash available for operational needs, (ii) increasing the amount of cushion on our covenants to provide additional headroom and (iii) amending our unsecured subordinated seller notes to convert 50% or $8.5 million of the outstanding principal and accrued interest into preferred stock and reduce the applicable interest rate from 12.0% to 1.5% on the remaining balance for the next two years.   The capital restructure improved our liquidity by selling shares of preferred stock for a total of $31.0 million ($22.5 million in cash and $8.5 million in converted subordinated notes).  The proceeds received were used to make an accelerated principal payment of $10.0 million under our Credit Agreement, pay fees and expense incurred of approximately $1.6 million, and approximately $10.9 million is available for content investment and working capital needs.  By reducing our debt balances and the applicable interest rate on the unsecured subordinated seller notes for two years, our future, annual cash interest expense has been reduced by approximately $2.0 million.  We believe that our current financial position combined with our forecasted operational results will be sufficient to meet our commitments.

SEGMENT INFORMATION [Abstract]
SEGMENT INFORMATION	NOTE 2.	SEGMENT INFORMATION
	In accordance with the requirements of the ASC 280 “Segment Reporting,” selected financial information regarding our reportable business segments, IP Licensing, Wholesale, and Direct-to-Consumer, is presented below.  Our reportable segments are determined based on the distinct nature of their operations, and each segment is a strategic business unit that is managed separately and either exploits our content over a different customer base or acquires content differently.  Our IP Licensing segment includes intellectual property (or content) owned or created by us, other than certain fitness related content, that is licensed for exploitation worldwide. The IP Licensing segment also includes our investment in ACL. Our Wholesale segment consists of the acquisition, enhancement and worldwide exploitation of exclusive content in various formats, including DVD, Blu-ray, digital, broadcast (including cable and satellite), VOD, streaming video, downloading and sublicensing. Our Direct-to-Consumer segment consists of our mail-order catalog and e-commerce businesses and our proprietary digital streaming channels.
	Management currently evaluates segment performance based primarily on revenue, and operating income (loss), including earnings from ACL. Operating costs and expenses allocated below to Corporate include only those expenses incurred by us at the parent corporate level, which are not allocated to our reporting segments, and include costs associated with RLJE’s corporate functions such as finance and accounting, human resources, legal and information technology departments.  Interest expense, change in the fair value of stock warrants, other income (expense) and benefit (provision) for income tax are evaluated by management on a consolidated basis and are not allocated to our reportable segments.  The following tables summarize the segment contribution for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

EQUITY EARNINGS IN AFFILIATE [Abstract]
EQUITY EARNINGS IN AFFILIATE [Text Block]	NOTE 3.	EQUITY EARNINGS IN AFFILIATE
	In February 2012, Acorn Media acquired a 64% interest in ACL for total purchase consideration of £13.7 million or approximately $21.9 million excluding direct transaction costs.  The acquisition gave Acorn Media a majority ownership of ACL’s extensive works including more than 80 novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and a film library of over 100 made-for-television films.
	We account for our investment in ACL using the equity method of accounting because (1) Acorn Media is only entitled to appoint one-half of ACL’s board members and (2) in the event the board is deadlocked, the chairman of the board, who is appointed by the directors elected by the minority shareholders, casts a deciding vote.
	As of the Business Combination, our 64% share of the difference between ACL’s fair value and the amount of underlying equity in ACL’s net assets was approximately $18.7 million.  This basis difference is primarily attributable to the fair value of ACL’s copyrights, which expire in 2046, and is being amortized through 2046 using the straight-line method.  Basis difference amortization is recorded against our share of ACL’s net income in our consolidated statements of operations, however this amortization is not included within ACL’s financial statements.
	The following summarized financial information is derived from the unaudited financial statements of ACL:

	ACL's functional currency is the British Pound Sterling (GBP). Amounts have been translated from GBP to U.S. Dollar using the average exchange rate for the periods presented.  The above operating results of ACL do not include basis difference amortization resulting from the Business Combination.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE	NOTE 4.	ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
	Accounts receivable are primarily derived from:  (1) the sale of physical content (DVDs) to retailers and wholesale distributors who ship to mass retail, (2) direct-to-consumer, e-commerce, catalog and download-to-own sales and (3) video content we license to broadcast, cable/satellite providers and digital subscription platforms like Netflix and Amazon.  Our accounts receivable typically trends with retail seasonality.

	Less:  allowance for doubtful accounts			(32	)		(33	)
	Accounts receivable, net		$	12,091		$	17,389
	Wholesale receivables are primarily billed and collected by our U.S. distribution facilitation partner.  Each month, our distribution partner preliminarily settles our wholesale receivables assuming a timing lag on collections and an average-return rate.  When actual returns differ from the amounts previously assumed, adjustments are made that give rise to payables and receivables between us and our distribution partners.  Amounts vary and tend to be seasonal following our sales activity.  As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we owed our distribution partners $3.1 million for receivables settled as of period-end.
	The wholesale receivables are reported net of amounts we owe to our distribution partner as these amounts are offset against each other when settling receivables in accordance with the contract.  As of March 15, 2015, the amount we owed our distribution partner was $1.3 million more than our receivables with them, and as such this net amount is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.  As of December 31, 2014, the net wholesale receivables with our distribution partner were $6.6 million, which is included in accounts receivable.
	Our Direct-to-Consumer receivable represents amounts due to us from our merchant bank related to our credit card transactions processed as of period end.

	Investments in content, net		$	64,912	$	67,525
	Investments in content are stated at the lower of unamortized cost or estimated fair value. The valuation of investments in content is reviewed on a title-by-title basis when an event or change in circumstances indicates that the fair value of content is less than its unamortized cost.  For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, impairment charges were $533,000 and $1.1 million, respectively, and are included in the cost of sales as content amortization and royalties cost.
	In determining the fair value of content (Note 10, Fair Value Measurements) for impairments, we employ a discounted cash flows (DCF) methodology. Key inputs employed in the DCF methodology include estimates of ultimate revenue and costs as well as a discount rate. The discount rate utilized in the DCF analysis is based on a market participant's weighted average cost of capital plus a risk premium representing the risk associated with producing a particular type of content.

	The subordinated notes mature in 2018 and the senior notes mature in 2019; however, if we do not subsequently extend the subordinated debt maturity, then the new senior notes’ maturity would accelerate in conjunction with the repayment of the subordinated notes in 2018.  The above table reflects the assumption that no extension of the subordinated notes occurs.  The senior notes’ minimum principal payments in 2018 would be $5.3 million if the senior notes’ maturity is not accelerated.
	The above payments do not take into consideration the amendments and additional accelerated payments made subsequent to March 31, 2015 (see Note 14, Subsequent Events).
	Credit Agreement
	Subsequent to March 31, 2015, we amended our Credit Agreement (as defined below) and made a $10.0 million prepayment.  The amended terms and prepayment are described in our subsequent events footnote (See Note 14, Subsequent Events).
	On September 11, 2014, we entered into a $70.0 million Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders led by McLarty Capital Partners, as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement consists of a term loan totaling $70.0 million with a maturity of five years, at an interest rate equal to (a) LIBOR plus 10.64% for so long as the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Agreement is greater than $65.0 million, and (b) LIBOR plus 9.9% thereafter.  LIBOR has a floor of 0.25%.  Principal payment obligations as a percentage of the amount initially borrowed are 3.5% per annum paid quarterly for the first two years, 5.0% for the third year and 7.5% for the remaining term with any unpaid principal balance due at maturity.  The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a lien on substantially all of our consolidated assets pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of September 11, 2014.
	Under the Credit Agreement, interest and principal is payable quarterly with principal payments beginning on December 31, 2014. Beginning in 2016, we are obligated to make certain accelerated principal payments annually which are contingent upon: (1) the occurrence of consolidated excess cash flows, as defined in the Credit Agreement, and (2) only to the extent at which such excess cash flows are above our minimum cash threshold of $12.0 million.  We are permitted to make additional voluntary principal payments under the Credit Agreement, but prepayments are subject to an applicable prepayment premium of:  (a) 5% if prepaid during the first year, (b) 3% if prepaid during the second year, and (c) 1.5% if prepaid during the third year.  The first $5.0 million of voluntary prepayment is not subject to any prepayment premium.
	The Credit Agreement contains certain financial and non-financial covenants beginning on December 31, 2014.  Financial covenants are assessed quarterly and are based on Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement.  Financial covenants vary each quarter and generally become more restrictive over time.
	Financial covenants include the following:
			December 31,
			2014		2015		2016		Thereafter
	Leverage Ratios:
	Senior debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA		4.64 : 1.00		Ranges from 4.87 : 1.00 to 4.03 : 1.00		Ranges from 3.86 : 1:00 to 2:67 : 1.00		2.67 : 1.00
	Total debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA		5.71 : 1.00		Ranges from 6.09 : 1.00 to 5.06 : 1.00		Ranges from 4.82 : 1:00 to 3.44 : 1.00		3.44 : 1.00
	Fixed charge coverage ratio		1.10 : 1.00		Ranges from 1.07 : 1.00 to 1.20 : 1.00		Ranges from 1.24 : 1.00 to 1.59 : 1.00		1.59 : 1.00
	We are also obligated to maintain a minimum valuation ratio computed on the outstanding principal balance of our senior debt compared to the sum of our valuations of our content library and our investment in ACL.  To the extent the valuation ratio exceeds the allowed threshold, we are obligated to make an additional principal payment such that the threshold would not be exceeded after giving effect of this payment.  The valuation threshold is 83% as long as the unpaid principal balance exceeds $65.0 million and 75% thereafter.
	The Credit Agreement contains events of default that include, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments, cross defaults to certain other contracts (including, for example, business arrangements with our U.S. distribution facilitation partner and other material contracts) and indebtedness and events constituting a change of control or a material adverse effect in any of our results of operations or conditions (financial or otherwise).  The occurrence of an event of default will increase the applicable rate of interest and could result in the acceleration of our obligations under the Credit Agreement.
	The Credit Agreement imposes restrictions on such items as encumbrances and liens, payments of dividends, other indebtedness, stock repurchases, capital expenditures and entering into new lease obligations.  Additional covenants restrict our ability to make certain investments, such as loans and equity investments, or investments in content that are not in the ordinary course of business.  Pursuant to the new Credit Agreement, we must maintain at all times a cash balance of $3.5 million.  As of March 31, 2015, we were not in compliance with our minimum cash balance requirement of $3.5 million.  The default was waived by our lenders on April 15, 2015 (see Note 14, Subsequent Events).
	Subordinated Notes Payable and Other Debt
	Subsequent to March 31, 2015, we amended our subordinated promissory notes that were issued to the selling shareholders of Image and exchanged approximately $8.5 million of these notes for preferred stock and warrants.  The amended terms and the exchange are described in our subsequent events footnote (See Note 14, Subsequent Events).
	In October 2012, we issued unsecured subordinated promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $14.8 million to the selling preferred stockholders of Image.  The subordinated notes mature on the earlier of October 3, 2018 or six months after the latest stated maturity of the senior debt issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement.  The unsecured subordinated notes bear an interest rate of 12% per an annum, of which 5.4% is payable  in cash annually and at our discretion the balance is either paid through the issuance of shares of our common stock valued at their then-current market price, or accrues and is added to the principal, which is payable upon maturity.  Interest is settled during the second quarter of each year.  At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our principal balance due pursuant to these notes was $16.0 million.
	In October 2013, we began our production of the next season of the franchise series of Foyle’s War.  Acorn Productions Limited, and Acorn Global Enterprises Limited, both wholly-owned subsidiaries of RLJE Ltd., entered into a cash advance facility (the FW9 Facility) with Coutts and Co., a U.K. based lender, for purposes of producing three ninety-minute television programs entitled “Foyle’s War Series 9.” The facility carried interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.15%.  Interest and repayment of advances received were due on or before November 8, 2014.  This facility was substantially secured by (i) executed license agreements whereby we have pre-sold certain broadcast and distribution rights and (ii) U.K. tax credits based on anticipated qualifying production expenditures.  The assets and intellectual property are collateral of our Credit Agreement now that the loan is paid and settled.  At March 31, 2014, the principal balance due pursuant to this facility was $10.4 million.

	Common and Preferred Stock
	Subsequent to March 31, 2015, we issued approximately 31,046 shares of preferred stock.  The terms are disclosed in our subsequent events footnote (See Note 14, Subsequent Events).
	Included in our common shares outstanding at December 31, 2014 were 437,241 shares held by certain founding shareholders as part of the initial public offering of RLJE.  These shares were subject to forfeiture over a two-year period if certain stock price targets were not achieved.  These shares were forfeited and returned in January 2015.
	Restricted Stock-Based Compensation Grants
	Compensation expense relating to the restricted stock awards for the periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $194,000 and $35,000, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, there were no stock grants.  During the three months ended March 31, 2014, 90,138 shares of restricted stock were granted and 66,244 shares of restricted stock were forfeited based upon the failure to achieve the 2013 performance criteria.  Of the 90,138 shares granted in 2014, 64,638 shares were granted to executive officers and directors and 25,500 shares were granted to other members of management.  The shares granted during 2014, were fair valued on the date of grant with a range of $4.60 - $5.01 per share, for a total value of approximately $417,000.  During the three months ended March 31, 2015, 2,245 shares of restricted stock were forfeited based upon an employee termination.  A summary of the activity since December 31, 2014 is as follows:
	(In thousands, except per share data)

	Non-vested shares at March 31, 2015			155		$	3.93		56	$	5.09
	The performance shares shall vest if certain performance criteria are achieved contingent upon the grantees being employed by RLJE when the performance criteria are evaluated.  Vesting for one-half of the outstanding restricted performance shares is contingent upon achieving 2014 targets and the other one-half is contingent upon achieving 2015 targets.  It is management’s assessment that the 2014 targets were not achieved, however the final determination will be made by the board’s compensation committee.  If it is determined that the 2014 performance targets were achieved, then we will recognize compensation expense at the time of determination of $142,000.
	As of March 31, 2015, there is $183,000 of unamortized compensation that will vest solely on completion of future services over the next 14 months, with a weighted-average remaining vesting period of seven months.  As of March 31, 2015, there is $110,000 of unamortized compensation that will vest based on achieving certain performance and service criteria over the next 14 months, with a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 11 months.

	RLJE had the following warrants outstanding:
			31-Mar-15
	(In thousands, except per share data)		Shares		Exercise		Remaining
					Price		Life
	Registered warrants			15,375	$	12	2.5 years
	Sponsor warrants			3,817	$	12	2.5 years
	Unregistered warrants			1,850	$	12	2.5 years
				21,042
	The warrants have a term of five years beginning October 3, 2012, and provide the warrant holder the right to acquire a share of our common stock for $12.00 per share. The warrants are redeemable by us for $0.01 per warrant share if our common stock trades at $17.50 or more per share for 20 out of 30 trading days. The warrants contain standard anti-dilution provisions.
	The warrants contain a provision whereby the exercise price will be reduced if RLJE reorganized as a private company.  The reduction in exercise price depends upon the amount of other consideration, if any, received by the warrant holders in the reorganization and how many years after the Business Combination reorganization is consummated.  Generally, the reduction in exercise price would be between $6.00 and $9.00 assuming no additional consideration was received.  Because of this provision, all warrants are being accounted for as a derivative liability in accordance with ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.
	The fair value of the warrants as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $104,000 and $601,000, respectively.  The valuation of the warrants is a Level 3 measurement.  The registered warrants had been traded on the over-the-counter market and previously were reported as a Level 1 measurement, but due to the lack of trading activity since the first quarter of 2014, the warrant valuation for registered warrants was transferred to Level 3 and valued in the same manner as the Sponsor and unregistered warrants.  Because RLJE has agreed not to exercise its redemption right pertaining to certain warrants held by RLJ SPAC Acquisition LLC (or the Sponsor) and because the unregistered warrants generally have a discounted fair value as compared to the registered warrants, the valuation of the sponsor warrants and the unregistered warrants has always been a Level 3 measurement.  The increase (decrease) in the fair value of the warrants for the periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $(497,000) and $1.8 million, respectfully.
	Subsequent to March 31, 2015, we issued approximately 9.3 million warrants.  The terms are described in our subsequent events footnote (See Note 14, Subsequent Events).

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	NOTE 10.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
	Warrant Liability
	We have warrants outstanding to purchase 21,041,667 shares of our common stock, which are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets.  Of these warrants, 15,375,000 are warrant shares that are registered and are available for trading on the over-the-counter market.  Since the first quarter of 2014, there has been a lack of trading activity for the registered warrants, and as such, when assessing their fair value we transferred them from Level 1 to Level 3 within the fair-value hierarchy.
	As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we determined the fair value of the registered warrants using a Monte Carlo simulation model.  Inputs to the model are stock volatility, contractual warrant terms (which are remaining life of the warrant, the redemption feature, the exercise price, and assumptions for the reduction in exercise price if we were to reorganize as a private company), the risk-free interest rate, and a discount for the lack of marketability (DLOM) pertaining to the underlying common stock as the shares acquirable are not registered.  We use the closing market price of our common stock to compute stock volatility.  The DLOM is determined using the Finnerty Average-Strike Put Option Marketability Discount Model (Finnerty Model), which takes into consideration the discount period, stock dividend rates, and stock volatility.  As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we used a DLOM rate of 11.2%.  Assumptions regarding adjustments to the exercise price are based on management’s best estimates of the likelihood of reorganizing as a private company and the amount of the resulting exercise-price adjustment.
	The remaining warrants, consisting of Sponsor warrants of 3,816,667 and unregistered warrants of 1,850,000 are classified as Level 3 within the fair-value hierarchy.  Sponsor Warrants differ from the registered warrants as we have agreed not to exercise our redemption provision as long as the Sponsor continues to hold the warrants.  We determined the fair value of these warrants using a Monte Carlo simulation model and using the same assumptions used for the registered warrants, except we did not include the redemption feature.
	Unregistered warrants differ from the registered warrants in that they have not been registered.  As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we determined the fair value of these warrants by taking the fair value of a registered warrant and discounting it using the Finnerty Model for the lack of marketability as these warrants are not registered.  As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we used a DLOM rate of approximately 17.0%.
	The following tables represent the valuation of our warrant liability within the fair-value hierarchy:

	Investments in Content
	When events and circumstances indicate that investments in content are impaired, we determine the fair value of the investment; and if the fair value is less than the carrying amount, we recognize additional amortization expense equal to the excess.  Our nonrecurring fair value measurement of assets and liabilities is classified in the tables below:

	Investments in content		$	—	$	—	$	1,521		$	1,521		$	1,119
	During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the investments in content were written down by $533,000 and $1.1 million, respectively.  In determining the fair value of our investments in content, we employ a DCF methodology.  Key inputs employed in the DCF methodology include estimates of a film's ultimate revenue and costs as well as a discount rate.  The discount rate utilized in the DCF analysis is based on our weighted average cost of capital plus a risk premium representing the risk associated with producing a particular film or television program.  As the primary determination of fair value is determined using a DCF model, the resulting fair value is considered a Level 3 measurement.

Movement in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the functional currencies (which are the British Pound Sterling and the Australian dollar) of those subsidiaries that were lent the monies will result in foreign currency gains and losses.  During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we recognized a loss of $841,000 and a gain of $156,000, respectively.
	The RLJ Companies, LLC
	On June 27, 2013, The RLJ Companies, LLC (whose sole manager and voting member is the chairman of our board of directors) purchased from one of our vendors $3.5 million of contract obligations that we owed to the vendor.  These purchased liabilities, which are now owed to RLJ Companies, LLC, are included in accrued royalties and distribution fees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

		·	Dividends – the preferred stock is entitled to cumulative dividends at a rate of 8% per annum of a preferred share’s stated value ($1,000 per share plus any unpaid dividends).  The first dividend payment is due July 1, 2017 and then payments are to be made quarterly thereafter.  At the Company’s discretion, dividend payments are payable in either cash or common stock, or added to the preferred share’s stated value.
		·	Conversion – at the preferred stockholder’s discretion, a share of preferred stock is convertible into shares of common stock determined by dividing the share’s stated value by a conversion rate of $1.00.  The conversion rate is subject to anti-dilution protection including adjustments for offerings consummated at a per-share price of less than $1.00 per common share.
		·	Mandatory Redemption – unless previously converted, on May 20, 2020, the Company, at its option, will either redeem the preferred stock with (a) cash equal to $1,000 per share plus any unpaid dividends (Redemption Value), or (b) shares of common stock determined by dividing the Redemption Value by a conversion rate equal to the lower of (i) the conversion rate then in effect (which is currently $1.00) or (ii) 85% of the then trading price, as defined, of the Company’s common stock.
		·	Voting – except for certain matters that require the approval of the preferred stockholders, such as changes to the rights and preferences of the preferred stock, the preferred stock does not have voting rights.  However, the holders of the preferred stock are entitled to appoint two board members, and under certain circumstances, appoint a third member.
	In connection with the sale, the holders of the preferred stock appointed two board members increasing the board to 11 members.  The Company has agreed to reduce the board size to seven members by November 14, 2015.
	The warrants have a term of five years and an exercise price of $1.50 per share.  The exercise price is subject to standard anti-dilution protection including adjustments for offerings consummated at a per-share price of less than $1.50 per common share.  Additionally, if the Company were to consummate certain fundamental transactions, such as a business combination or other change-in-control transactions, the warrant holders may require, under certain conditions, that the Company is to repurchase the warrants with cash equal to the warrants’ then fair value as determined using the Black Scholes valuation model.
	The Company has committed to file a registration statement within 30 days that registers the shares issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock and exercise of the warrants.  The Company is to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective, but in any event no later than 90 to 120 days after filing of the registration statement.  The Company will also use its best efforts to keep the registration statement effective.  If the Company is in default of this registration rights agreement, and as long as the event of default is not cured, then the Company is to pay in cash partial-liquidation damages as defined therein.  Damages are not to exceed 6% of the aggregated subscription amount.
	The conversion of the preferred stock into, and the exercise of the warrants for, shares of the Company’s common stock would be subject to the approval of the common stockholders of the Company. The Company expects to will hold a special meeting seeking stockholders approval no later than July 31, 2015. However, prior to the closing on the issuance of the preferred stock and warrants, the Company obtained proxies from directors, executive officers and certain greater than 5% stockholders, which in the aggregate held more than 50% of the outstanding common shares, that were voting in favor of the issuance of the preferred stock and the warrants.
	Debt Amendments, Prepayment and Exchange
	Subsequent to March 31, 2015, the Company entered into (a) an amendment (the “Senior Credit Facility Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement between the Company and its lenders, and (b) an amendment (the “Note Amendment”) with the holders of certain subordinated notes (the “Subordinated Note Holders”).
	The principal terms of the Credit Agreement Amendment are as follows:
	(a) a reduction of the Minimum Cash Balance (as defined in the Credit Agreement) that the Company is required to maintain from $3.5 million to $1.0 million, thus providing access to $2.5 million of cash previously restricted,
	(b) a waiver of certain Defaults (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and Events of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) caused by, or that would be caused by the breach of certain financial covenants under the senior Credit Agreement;
	(c) amendments of the Credit Agreement (i) modifying the interest rate to equal LIBOR plus 10.64%, (ii) modifying certain financial statement and other reporting and lender communication requirements, (iii) changing the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) threshold to 0.73:1.00 for the quarter ending March 31, 2015, and 0.63:1.00 for the quarter ending June 30, 2015, (iv) changing the Senior Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) limit to 7.50:1.00 for the quarter ending March 31, 2015, and 6.92:1.00 for the quarter ending June 30, 2015, and (v) changing the Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) limit to 9:00:1:00 for the quarter ending March 31, 2015, and 8.95:1.00 for the quarter ending June 30, 2015; and
	(d) the consent of the lenders to the issuance of the preferred stock and warrants, as well as the use of the proceeds from the issuance of the preferred stock and warrants (i) to pay $10 million of the amounts outstanding pursuant to the Credit Agreement, (ii) to pay certain fees and costs associated with the issuance of the preferred stock, and (iii) for working capital purposes.
	In connection with the sale of preferred stock and warrants, the Company used $10.0 million of the cash proceeds to make partial payment on the Credit Agreement and approximately $1.7 million for prepayment penalties, legal fees, and expenses associated with the transaction.
	The principal terms of the Note Amendment are as follows:
	(a) an agreement by the Subordinated Note Holders to convert 50% of the outstanding balance under the subordinated notes into shares of preferred stock and warrants;
	(b) amendments to the subordinated notes (i) changing the interest rate payable from 12% to 1.5% per annum for the 24-month period commencing on January 1, 2015, and then 12% per annum thereafter; and (ii) specifying that 45% of the interest due will be payable in cash and the remainder of the accrued interest will be payable in the form of additional subordinated notes; and
	(c) a waiver of any existing defaults and events of default.
	In connection with the sale of preferred stock and warrants, the Subordinated Note Holders exchanged approximately $8.5 million of subordinated notes for 8,546 shares of preferred stock and 2,564,000 warrants.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION [Abstract]
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements	Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
	The financial information presented in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2015 and for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (or U.S. GAAP) and with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (or SEC) instructions for interim financial reporting instructions for the Form 10-Q (or Form 10-Q) and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete audited financial statements.
	In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Due to the seasonal nature of our business, with a disproportionate amount of sales occurring in the fourth quarter and other factors, including our content release schedule, interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.  The accompanying unaudited financial information should, therefore, be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on May 8, 2015 (or the 2014 Form 10-K).  Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2014 Form 10-K contains a summary of our significant accounting policies.  As of March 31, 2015, no material changes to our significant accounting policies disclosed in our 2014 Form 10-K have been made.
Accounting and Reporting Pronouncements Adopted	Accounting and Reporting Pronouncements Adopted
	On April 7, 2015 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-3, Interest – Imputation of Interest (the Update).  The Update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts.  The amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  We will be adopting this Update beginning January 1, 2016 by applying the new guidance on a retroactive period basis.  As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we have unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, that is currently recorded within prepaid expenses and other assets.
Reclassifications and Adjustment	Reclassifications and Adjustment
	Certain amounts reported previously in our consolidated financial statements have been reclassified or adjusted to be comparable with the classifications used for our 2015 consolidated financial statements.  We are now reporting our cost of sales in two components, which are (a) content amortization and royalties, and (b) manufacturing and fulfillment.  We are now reporting the change in the fair value of our stock warrants as a separate line item within our statement of operations. We are now reporting amortization of deferred financing costs as interest expense.  Previously, we were reporting amortization of deferred financing costs as general and administrative expenses.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation
	The operations of ACL are entirely managed by RLJE, subject to oversight by ACL’s Board of Directors. The investment in ACL is accounted for using the equity method of accounting given the voting control of the Board of Directors by the minority shareholder. We have included our share of ACL’s operating results, using the equity method of accounting, in our consolidated financial statements.
	Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiary companies, except for ACL. Investment in ACL is carried as a separate asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at cost adjusted for our share of the equity in undistributed earnings. Except for dividends and changes in ownership interest, changes in equity in undistributed earnings of ACL are separately reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
