Paramount Home Media Distribution (PHMD) announced today that it has signed an output deal with IFC Films, giving the Paramount Pictures division U.S. home entertainment rights to select theatrical releases from IFC Films. Upcoming films included in the agreement are The D Train, starring Jack Black and James Marsden; Clouds of Sils Maria, starring Juliette Binoche, Kristen Stewart and Chloe Grace Moretz; Good Kill, starring Ethan Hawke, Bruce Greenwood, Zoe Kravitz and January Jones; and Sleeping with Other People, starring Jason Sudeikis, Adam Scott, Alison Brie and Amanda Peet.
“Having worked with IFC Films on the home entertainment release of ‘Boyhood,’ we are extremely enthusiastic about extending our relationship and look forward to bringing their compelling films to audiences across multiple distribution platforms,” said Syrinthia Studer, SVP Marketing and Acquisitions, Paramount Home Media Distribution. “IFC Films has produced a slate of high-quality entertainment that we are confident film fans will embrace.”
“We’re so pleased to be continuing our relationship with Paramount Pictures’ home entertainment division and building on the terrific partnership that began with the successful release of ‘Boyhood,’” said Lisa Schwartz, Executive Vice President, Distribution, Operations and Business Development, IFC Films and Sundance Selects. “Paramount is an industry leader in home entertainment, so we’re excited our upcoming films will be in their very capable hands after their theatrical runs.”
PHMD will handle all physical and Internet digital home entertainment distribution of the upcoming films covered by the agreement in the U.S. following the films’ theatrical runs, while IFC Films will handle VOD and EST sales to cable, satellite and telco providers.
This deal follows a successful collaboration on IFC Films’ Academy Award-winning Boyhood, for which PHMD handled U.S. physical and digital home entertainment distribution.
