Another base-hit for HHSE
It's always interesting in the home video distribution business to see the titles that our key (mass merchant and chain) buyers respond to. In order to get the consumer to buy our videos, we must first persuade the retailers to put it onto the shelves... so it's challenging to come up with the right art and concepts to beat out ALL of the other indie film competition in a given release window that are competing for that limited shelf or kiosk space. Today's "base-hit" (looks like a double actually!) is POSSESSION: THE INGLODA WITHIN. This title has gone through some name changes, but this is the final version that hit the hot button with the majority of our key accounts! Onward & Upward for HHSE!

some other HHSE positives...

Shareholder inquiries: specific third-party production updates.
Greetings HHSE Friends & Shareholders - We have received some emails in the past day or so, asking about "WILD OATS" and the production status. As some of you may have seen, VARIETY and other trade publications have released the news that today's current attachments now include DEMI MOORE - replacing SARAH JESSICA PARKER - who replaced CHRISTINA RICCI. No news is out as to which actor is going to replace JACK BLACK who replaced CHRISTOPER WALKEN... and no news about whether or not the producer's team at "Wild Pictures" will ever get it all together and actually begin filming.

But we do hope it all works out. Hannover House has a contract for the exclusive North American distribution rights in all media. The "Wild Oats" production team has made an offer - and Hannover House accepted - a "buy out" of the Hannover House distribution rights in order that they can accept a similar agreement from the Weinstein Company. To date, despite the existence of a buy-out agreement, Hannover House has not been paid.

Our position is simple. Either they buy us out, or we will seek legal remedies to enforce our distribution rights in the film. So obviously, we're hopeful that they get it together as we feel that the company comes out positively "either way."

That said, I believe that this picture would have been made over two-years ago had they not made the decision to try and fund it without the Hannover House support. Clearly, their "better methodology" has not yet resulted in anything more than occassional trade-publication write-ups of their revolving door of cast members. If you're interested, here's the recent story from VARIETY:

HHSE's "Dinosaurs of the Jurassic" - 3D Lenticular Box for Q4 HOLIDAYS!
Word Just In: The 2014 Hannover House production of "DINOSAURS OF THE JURASSIC" will hit major retail shelves on December 9th in a special Collector's Edition 3D Lenticular Box! The dinosaurs on the packaging can be seen in 3-D, with partial motion as the box is turned from left to right. This item, priced at $12.96 "everyday low price" - and on special for as low as $9.96 - will be an ideal holiday stocking stuffer for kids of all ages. We're pretty jazzed! That's not all, next summer (2015), the title will be ideally positioned for re-release in the wake of the new Amblin Ent., / Spielberg release of "Jurassic World."

another positive development for HHSE...

1). MEDALLION - As previously announced, Hannover's new releasing entity, "MEDALLION INTERNATIONAL PICTURES" was launched at Cannes to robust success. As originally planned and launched, Medallion has been envisioned as the releasing mechanism (and financing vehicle) for the Company's higher-end productions. That is already happening. What we are supplementing now is the addition of outside studio labels to the Hannover House family for our existing North American business. This structural model - similar to the $150-mm level that Tom Sims achieved at Universal-Vivendi - is to combine four or more "complementary" (but not directly "competitive") releasing labels together for HHSE to represent. Three established labels (plus one "start up") have already pledged to join this new multi-studio effort. The sales entity will be known as MEDALLION RELEASING, INC., which is a 100% wholly-owned division of Hannover House, Inc., HHSE.
