Quick Takes: 10/31/07
Lionsgate has signed a deal with USA Network and the Sci-Fi Channel that will have movies like Saw II, 3:10 to Yuma and Good Luck Chuck making the television debuts on the networks. The deal also includes a number of other movies.- Disney has launched “The Disney Garden” as an over-arching product line for its healthy snacks for kinds that will bear familiar Disney characters. The line is an effort to by the media giant to abide by a pledge to cut back its marketing of unhealthy food to children.
- IFC has signed Dewar’s to sponsor uncut, un-interrupted airings of the films shown as part of the network’s regular Wednesday night double feature.
- Sony is said to be considering the sale of half its animation studio as well as other movie-related assets, though right now that’s just speculation.
- Considering movie trailers and other videos are so often part of the TiVo Showcase it should be heartening to hear research showing the slots work. While the research is specifically geared toward new TV shows, I think the results are still transferable to at least some extent.
