Cinedigm announced that it has partnered with the production and distribution label, Crimson Forest Films, on a new multi-year pact. Under the deal, Cinedigm will release Crimson Forest’s pictures across all home entertainment channels, including DVD/Blu-Ray/4K, digital platforms, cable and satellite VOD and broadcast television. The new partnership covers North America and, for select titles, international territories as well. The partnership with Crimson Forest further underscores Cinedigm’s expanding global profile and distribution capabilities and comes on the heels of Cinedigm’s confirmation in November that the Hong Kong-based Bison Entertainment Investment, Limited, the wholly owned subsidiary of Bison Capitol Holding Limited (“Bison Capital”), had completed a strategic investment in the company. The first release under the deal will be the Hong Kong-Chinese action thriller, SHOCKWAVE, which boasts a $23 million production budget and stars Hong Kong legend Andy Lau, as a bomb disposal specialist battling a criminal mastermind. The picture earned over $58 million in international box office in 2017.
