They had the Josh Harnett film Most Wanted / Target Number One which was a Saban property distributed by Paramount in the US and eOne up here but the days of them having a lot are behind them.
Not too sure on Elevation. The home (physical media) market in Canada is pretty much a joke. Outside of the major major new releases, your lucky to get a bluray release, more often then not if it's just a DVD and even then it depends as to who has what rights.

EOne definitely went downhill since their merger, they’ve let go of a ton of New Line, Focus Featured and Miramax titles and now it seems like all of their catalogue titles of Lionsgate have reverted back as well. Very disappointing when it comes to getting a Blu Ray over here. Lionsgate also got back it’s StudioCanal titles here after Mongrel had that partnership.
