HHSE -- Revenues are really starting to ramp up here, especially with the addition of SONY HOME ENTERTAINMENT as a partner providing distribution support on certain titles. Please note this line from the latest blog

Many current and upcoming HHSE titles will enjoy the distribution support through SONY as well as Video-On-Demand with The Orchard, and for selected titles, worldwide distribution with Sony Pictures International

Yes that's right, selected HHSE titles will be distributed WORLDWIDE by SONY PICTURES INTERNATIONAL. Worldwide is a lot of potential revenue, as a long I am very excited about this venture with Sony Home Entertainment!

Dollar Dollar Bills Ya'll!

2). CURRENT RELEASE ACTIVITIES - So much to report, but here are the highlights:

a). BATTLECREEK hits most major retailers this TUESDAY (Feb. 6) - and is already the company's largest new release "shipped" item in five years. Based on current pre-orders with Amazon.com, which are STRONG (actually 10-X stronger than last year's top video, "Lost in the Pacific"), we are hopeful that this consumer interest will also apply to Walmart, K-Mart, Target, Best Buy and other locations. Check out this film, it's worth the modest purchase price!

b). BLOODFEAST - A limited release of "R" rated DVDs and BluRays will also hit selected retailers on Tuesday... but the BIG GUNS will be blasting with our "SPECIAL, UNRATED AND UNEDITED DIRECTOR'S CUT" - which is rolling out "only in theatres" on a city by city basis. Management believes that the hard-core Horror fans will support this Unrated version, and thus far, the response from the specialty media supports this belief.

c). DEATH HOUSE - opens in theatres Feb. 23 - this deserves an entire mega blog to itself. For now, we'll include the new trailer link.

d). GETTING GRACE - opens in theatres March 23, and is already proving to be the company's top theatrical title, probably of all time (several "sneak peek" screenings have already occurred and SOLD OUT, with literally thousands of tickets cumulatively already sold!). This title deserves two or three mega-blogs. But for now, we'll include just a few images and a link or two.

3). SONY PICTURES HOME ENT. & DISTRIBUTION STRATEGIES - HHSE has been working for over a year now with industry veteran ERIC DOCTOROW, who is best known for his 20+ years as President of Paramount Home Entertainment (a $-Billion+ Division), and more recently as C.E.O. of Random Media. Many current and upcoming HHSE titles will enjoy the distribution support through SONY as well as Video-On-Demand with The Orchard, and for selected titles, worldwide distribution with Sony Pictures International. HHSE / Medallion are maintaining the existing distribution pacts with other wholesalers - most notably Cinedigm. But for eligible and qualifying titles, the distribution access into Sony's powerhouse field sales force and distribution pipeline is something of a material development for HHSE. This move enables HHSE Management to focus on productions, acquisitions and theatrical release activities - and turn over the distraction and difficulties of home video distribution (as well as the cash-flow drain of video manufacturing and freight) to be handled under more beneficial terms.

The initial titles that will benefit under this new distribution pact are: DAISY WINTERS, THE ALGERIAN and BONOBOS: BACK TO THE WILD. There are other notable developments in motion with BONOBOS that will merit a separate blog or press announcement. But for now, here's a link to a behind-the-scenes look at the production of this film, and the woman behind the Lola Ya Bonobo Sanctuary in Africa:
