Spackman Entertainment inks MOU to acquire half of Novus Mediacorp

The Korean ancillary film market is worth around $314m.

Catalist-listed Korean entertainment production group Spackman Entertainment Group, revealed today that it has entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with an independent third party for the proposed acquisition of 51% or more of the issued and outstanding share capital of Novus Mediacorp.

Novus is an investor, presenter, and ancillary distributor for Korean theatrical films. Since 2009, Novus was the investor, presenter, and/or ancillary distributor for a total of 35 Korean and 19 foreign films.

Novus also has a wholly owned subsidiary, Novus Entertainment Co., Ltd., which is currently producing three major theatrical films for release in 2015.

In 2013, the Korean ancillary market totalled approximately $314 million, over three times that of the approximately $104m recorded in 2009. Meanwhile, the packaged segment, which includes DVD and Blu‐Ray, has almost halved in the same period.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
