eOne, Lionsgate renew output deals

Entertainment One and Hunger Games producer Lionsgate have renewed their feature film output deals in Canada, Australia and Spain, the companies announced Wednesday.

Signed through 2018, the agreements will see eOne handle distribution for Lionsgate features, which have recently included young-adult blockbusters Divergent and Twilight, as well as the ongoing Hunger Games saga, across all media.

eOne has previously released all three franchises in the three territories, two of which have further sequels and instalments in the pipeline.

Upcoming major releases from Lionsgate that will be included in the new agreement include Gods of Egypt and Now You See Me 2.
