Exclusive: Ascot Elite Entertainment and Swiss broadcaster Ch Media have entered into a joint venture which will see the former take over releasing duties for Ch’s film distribution company Impuls Pictures.
From the end of this month, Ascot Elite will assume the marketing and distribution of Impuls film titles, meaning it will account for a quarter of the Swiss cinema market share. In return, Ch Media will put Ascot Elite acquisitions through its upcoming streaming platform oneplus.
We understand there may be a handful of job losses as a result of the consolidation, but some staff may also be retained.
Among upcoming titles Ascot Elite will take over from Impuls will be The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard. The deal also includes Impulse’s library, with recent releases including Rian Johnson’s Knives Out, Rosamund Pike starrer I Care A Lot and Jason Segal-Dakota Johnson movie Our Friend.
