Paramount / Transmission partnership renewed
Paramount Pictures and Transmission Films have renewed their distribution pact for Australia and New Zealand, following their Oscar success this week with The King’s Speech.
“It has been an incredibly rewarding three years working with Paramount and its talented team. We couldn’t be happier to be extending the relationship for another three years to realize another slate of extraordinary films from some of the world’s finest filmmakers,” said Tranmission founders Richard Payten and Andrew Mackie.
“The past three years have seen us handle a tremendous range of product from around the world culminating in the success of The King’s Speech. This relationship forms an essential part of our acquisition strategy and we look forward to an exciting time as we bring more great films to the Australian and New Zealand markets,” added Paramount managing director Mike Selwyn.
The King’s Speech, a Seesaw Films / Bedlam production, has grossed more than $28m in Australia/New Zealand.
The partnership between Paramount and Transmission has delivered box office results of over $50m, with local titles such as Beneath Hill 60, The Kings of Mykonos, Charlie & Boots and international works such as An Education and Broken Embraces.
KINGS SPEECH a brilliant film. More please, Paramount and Transmission!
