Manori Ravindran International Editor Cohen Media Group has acquired producer Jeremy Thomas’ prestigious international sales company HanWay Films in a major deal.
Cohen Media Group owns Landmark Theatres in the U.S. and British distributor-exhibitor Curzon. HanWay Films was founded by “The Last Emperor” producer Thomas and is co-owned with his partner Peter Watson.
Under the deal, HanWay Films will continue to be branded as an independent label selling theatrical titles to its distribution partners worldwide.
It’s still unclear how much an exclusive tie-in there will be to parent company-owned Curzon. Peter Watson will continue to serve as president, with Gabrielle Stewart as CEO.
