Entertainment One has completed its acquisition of Australian distributor Hopscotch.

The indie Australian and New Zealand market distributor is now part of the Canadian distributor’s international network, which includes beyond Canada the UK, the US, Benelux, Germany, France, Scandinavia and South Africa.

“This acquisition is another momentous step forward in building our multi-territory content ownership and distribution infrastructure,” Darren Throop, president and CEO at Entertainment One, said on April 11 in a statement as the Hopscotch deal was unveiled.

The acquisition follows Entertainment One recently completing a share issue to raise around $25 million.
