Lionsgate renewed contract with CBS Pictures for three years to continue working together with more best films

Lionsgate announced that it will renew its contract with CBS Pictures for three years until 2020. The two sides will continue to co-produce and distribute excellent films.

According to foreign media reports, Lionsgate announced that it will renew its contract with CBS Pictures for a three-year period, and the two sides will continue to co-produce and distribute films. The two companies signed a contract for the first time in 2015. The first film released was "Ugly Girls Have Spring". The original contract content was that the two parties would jointly produce and distribute four widely released films every year for a total of three years. At present, the new assignment is that CBS is responsible for purchasing film distribution rights, participating in production, and marketing, while Lionsgate is responsible for all media distribution matters, including theater and home entertainment. In addition, CBS will produce and distribute its own restricted films. Lionsgate boss Jon Feltheimer said: "Last year's Oscar-nominated film" Through Fire and Water "was very successful, and the amazing power and influence we have created with Leslie Moonves and his company CBS is very pleasing." The next film the two parties will collaborate on is the action thriller "American Assassin" starring Dylan O'Brien and Michael Keaton. The preview has a good reputation and will be released in North America on September 15.

Lionsgate has produced the hit series "The Hunger Games" and "The Divergent", and this year's six-time Oscar winner "La La Land" also came from the company.
