Revolution Studios has selected Miramax to manage its global television and digital distribution licensing including all content from its recently acquired Morgan Creek international film library.
The precise and full terms of the deal, announced at MIPCOM, are yet to be revealed but the new deal will expand the current alliance, under which Miramax has represented Revolution in the U.S. since June 2012. Miramax will also begin representing Revolution’s titles internationally as rights begin to revert back to Revolution, while Morgan Creek titles are immediately available internationally from Miramax.
Revolution titles represented by Miramax include more than 40 top tier Hollywood films such as: Black Hawk Down, America’s Sweethearts, 13 Going On 30, Maid In Manhattan, xxx and Daddy Day Care. The Morgan Creek titles acquired by Revolution and now represented by Miramax include: Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, True Romance, The Last Of The Mohicans and Major League.
“The Miramax global sales team is among the most respected and creative in the industry and we look forward to working with them to broaden our diverse library worldwide,” commented Revolution chief operating officer Scott Hemming. “Miramax representing Revolution globally is the next natural step in continuing our collaboration of our already established and strong domestic foundation.”
Joe Patrick, Miramax Executive Vice President, Worldwide TV sales, added, “Miramax is proud to expand its partnership with Revolution and we are excited to now represent the Revolution and Morgan Creek titles internationally. This fantastic collection of content is highly complementary to the Miramax catalogue, providing us unique positioning within the international TV and digital landscape.”
