Lionsgate Poised

Lionsgate, the movie and television company, is soon expected to join the growing ranks of production houses that have signed independent deals with the Writers Guild of America.

A deal is expected in the next day or so, according to people who have been briefed on the matter but requested anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak. Lionsgate produces Showtime’s “Weeds” and distributes AMC’s “Mad Men.”

The Weinstein Co. and United Artists are among those that have already signed independent deals. The agreements are designed to be superseded by any deal ultimately reached between the striking writers and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.

Currently as much as there is so much success in the Lions Gate Film fraternity, we face a lot risks doing business internationally, the risks we face could include

We face risks from doing business internationally.

From our distribution of films and motion pictures outside Canada and the United States, our business is subject to certain risks inherent in international business, most of which are beyond our control.

These risks could be

changes in local regulatory requirements, which may include restrictions on content;


changes in the laws and policies affecting trade, investment and taxes,
including laws and policies relating to the repatriation of funds and to
withholding taxes;


  
differing degrees of protection for intellectual property;


  
instability of foreign economies and governments;


 
 cultural barriers;


  
wars and acts of terrorism; and


 
the spread of communicable diseases.

Any of these factors could affect our business profoundly.

On the other hand our rights to the titles in our film and television vary, in some cases we have only the right to distribute titles in certain media and
territories for a limited term.

Once these rights expire, we cannot be guaranteed a renewal of the same.
