Diva will initially supply a package of 15 films and episodes of classic TV series to Elion for its video on demand service. The contents will be localized with sub titles and include multiple award winning movies and all time black & white classics across in the genres comedy, action and horror.

The USD 20m production budget Lionsgate horror movie reached no 5 in the US box office charts within a week of its theatrical release in the US. In partnership with Tiberius Diva is representing the movie exclusively for selected VoD platforms on a day and date release due for summer 2010.

Diva will feature a hosted end-to-end proposition for hundreds of attractive on demand titles grouped into genres. The movies will be made available both for free viewing as well as larger subscriptions. Wherever possible movies will be made available on a day ‘n date basis. In due course the proposition will be made available in multiple territories.

Being independent from larger studios clearly played in Diva’s favour in being selected as a direct partner and supplier to iTunes. Going forward Diva is looking to work with an increasing number independent home entertainment companies to place their contents with iTunes with a particular focus on ‘day & date’ releases. The upcoming European Film Market in Berlin will prove a good platform to network and round off the 2010 line- up.

As part of the deal Diva has secured digital and Pay TV rights to the critically acclaimed Hit Comedy Diggers and the award winning Thirller Boearderland. Diva will work with multiple Eastern European and Scandinavian VoD platforms to maximise the digital revenues of these pictures.
