Expansion would could continue further in the early 1990’s with Shaye’s law school classmate, Michael Lynne, becoming president and chief operating officer of the company. New Line would gain another major success in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise and would acquire television production company Sonar Entertainment in November 1990 and film distribution company Sultan Entertainment on November 27th, 1991.
