Friday, June 15 - HHSE Blog Report

Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers - Most of the "post-Cannes" follow-up work has been completed (sales, new acquisitions and Myflix launch partners);  accordingly, it's a good time for us to highlight SOME of the release items set for the upcoming month.  Not listed below are the NEW titles recently acquired (Cannes and Post-Cannes) - including two Q4 theatrical titles.  However, as some of these titles have been long-delayed from home video release, we wanted to provide the update as to the imminent status for these items.

There is still a reasonably robust "physical" market (DVD and BluRay) for the right products (and usually for theatrical-caliber titles).  Revenues from Video-On-Demand streaming (including transactional, subscription and electronic sell-thru) are beginning to surpass physical DVD and BluRay revenues.  The release slate below for physical video dates & forecasts does not include V.O.D. revenues sources, television or international for these particular titles.

Customarily, some of these titles would have been released to home video quite some time ago, most notably:  BONOBOS, SLEEPER CELL, RIDE UNITED, AMERICA UNITED and DINOSAURS OF THE JURASSIC. Due first to the move over from Anderson / Alchemy to Cinedigm as principal two-step wholesaler... then the protracted, "slow-dance" of a proposed merger with Crimson Forest, both of which contributed to strategic delays in these home video releases.  Now, with distribution channels firmly in place, the HHSE corporate status no longer uncertain, and significant new theatrical titles in the upcoming pipeline, HHSE / Medallion are finally empowered to begin harvesting the significant revenue streams to be enjoyed from the release of these titles via physical, digital, television and international markets.
