Berlin (February 11, 2017)
During the European Film Market (EFM) Wizart announced its new agreements and The Snow Queen franchise premieres. The first movie of the Sheep and Wolves franchise, whose premiere took place in April 2016, was of particular interest.
Wizart has concluded an agreement with the distribution company VERCINE (The House of Magic, Maggie) for The Snow Queen 2 distribution in Spain. Russian animated movie is going to have a wide release in January 2017 already. It will be shown on 120 Spanish screens and even in three languages: Spanish or Castilian, Catalan and Basque.
Koch Media, a large distributor in the German territory, has acquired the rights for the animated movie Sheep and Wolves to provide the Home Entertainment release in Germany, Austria, Lichtenstein, Switzerland, Luxembourg and South Tyrol. The release is planned to take place in the winter of 2017.
“We’re happy to acquire the experience of work with Wizart Animation and to have this opportunity to introduce the new franchise Sheep and Wolves to the German audience. We hope that our audience will like Sheep and Wolves, as the company’s production is really high-quality,” a Koch Media representative noted.
The Norwegian company Storytelling Media has acquired the exhibition rights to screen Sheep and Wolves in June 2017. It is the first release of the Russian independent animation in Scandinavia; the movie will be screened all over the country: from Oslo to Honningsvåg.
The Hungarian company ADS Service has acquired the exhibition rights for Sheep and Wolves. The movie release all over the country is planned for March 2017.
Wizart had concluded an agreement with the distribution company KLB for the Home Entertainment release of The Snow Queen 3: Fire and Ice in France and French-speaking territories.
Blitz, a large distributor, has acquired the rights for a theatrical release of TheSnow Queen in Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia in the first quarter of 2017.
Another important success for Wizart is the contract for a theatrical release of The Snow Queen 3 in Australia and New Zealand – with the support from Odin’s Eye, the audience of this continent, which is so far away from Russia, will see the story about Gerda and Kai’s adventures at the end of 2017.
Zylo, a French distributor, has acquired the rights for the animated movie Fantastic Journey to Oz to provide the Home Entertainment release in France as well as in the French-speaking territories of Belgium, Switzerland, Monaco, Andorra and Luxembourg and Africa.
“The geographic expansion of Wizart’s animated movies distribution is getting wider and wider every day – the theatrical success in European countries proves how high-qualified the Russian animation is. Our partners are willing to purchase animated movies that will be interesting to their audience and thus popular. Sheep and Wolves have beaten a lot of attendance records, The Snow Queen 3’s box office is also a record one. We, in our turn, are providing our partners with the highest informational and marketing support possible – to multiply the numbers of people who love Wizart’s animated movies,” Yuri Moskvin, Wizart’s general producer, commented on the company’s participation in the EFM.
