HHSE to pursue sanctions against Fantastic Films

Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers - We were recently made aware that Fantastic Films International, through their local collection agent Dale Evans - is ATTEMPTING to collect funds against a balance that was LONG AGO FULLY PAID OFF.  The status of the FFI matter being FULLY PAID is is not a matter of opinion... it's a matter of MATH, and in the judicial estate, FACTS do matter.

Accordingly, in response to this ABSURD AND BASELESS attempt to get "paid again" - Hannover House (through counsel) will be filing a motion with the Washington County Court, seeking not only to fully acknowledge and vacate the satisfied judgment, but to seek SANCTIONS against Fantastic Films and Dale Evans for their attempt to commit a fraud against the court.

We're not willing to tolerate anymore baloney.

There was ANOTHER "legal mistake" committed last week, in that the collections attorney for Arvest Bank filed a lawsuit (against HHSE) to seek enforcement of a credit card balance - which was immediately recognized as paid and will be completely "removed" (withdrawn) on Tuesday (when the courthouse next opens).

Sorry, but when the HAMMER hits the ANVIL, anything soft will be crushed.  Don't let purveyors of baloney try to convince you that night is day and that small annoyances are actually big matters.  The truth will, once again, prevail over those that intentionally spew misinformation on stock chat boards.

Retailers show STRONG Initial CONSUMER Reaction to LOST IN THE PACIFIC

Dear HHSE Friends & Followers - "LOST IN THE PACIFIC" - Hannover's epic action adventure starring BRANDON ROUTH ("Superman Returns") hit retail shelves on TUESDAY at major accounts, including Walmart, Best Buy and Redbox.

After only two days, some WALMART locations are reporting between 50% and 80% sell-thru rates, and Redbox is showing many locations with "out-on-rental" results.

This is a good sign, and one that bodes well for both RE-ORDERS as well as for placement into secondary locations and accounts!

Watch for "LOST IN THE PACIFIC" to hit Netflix in April, following the industry standard hold-back of 60+ days after initial home video release.

"Algerian" Strikes Retail Nerve with New TITLE and PACKAGING from Hannover House

Good Morning HHSE Friends & Followers - Back in July, August and September of 2015, Hannover House released the acclaimed, indie political thriller "THE ALGERIAN" to 22 theatrical markets in the top USA Cities.

www.TheAlgerianMovie.com

Despite the significant consumer visibility, press support and box office results of this theatrical release, three of the top four largest video purchasers subsequently turned down carrying videos of the title.  The prevailing feedback was that the title "The Algerian," implied to consumers that the film is of foreign origin, and quite possibly, in a foreign language, such as Arabic.  Despite our efforts to clarify the packaging to emphasize the film's USA origin (and original-language English production), we were unable to overcome the retailer's resistance to thinking it still sounded "foreign."

Accordingly, we were pleased to receive across-the-board support from these same video accounts with a RETITLED version and new packaging.  So without further delay, we are pleased to announce the JUNE DVD and BluRay release of "SLEEPER CELL" - which feels well-timed for the currently enhanced fear of terrorists that may have infiltrated into America (which is the plot of this film).

As these key accounts begin to formally list their June releases, we will update this blog post.
