Multimedia Music announced today that it has entered into a deal to acquire copyright and copyright in a 48-film catalog from Atlantic Screen Music in what it calls a “medium number seven deal.”
Atlantic Screen Music has rights to hits including “2 Guns,” “Lone Survivor,” “The Host,” “Dredd,” “Escape Plan,” and “Broken City.” Multimedia said the films, cumulatively, have made hundreds of millions of dollars at the global box office and even more through ancillary channels.
Composers whose works have appeared in the catalog include Max Richter (“Perfect Sense”, “The Last Days of Mars”), Lorne Balfe (“Frozen Earth”), John Paysano (“Heroken”), John Debney (“Alex Cross”), Atticus Ross (“The Broken City”), Antonio Pinto (“The Host”), Steve Jablonsky (“The Lone Survivor”), Clinton Shorter (“2 Guns”) and Paul Leonard Morgan (“Dread”).
“We are delighted to have this catalog of premium films,” said James Gibb, Managing Partner of Multimedia Music. “Atlantic Screen Music includes scores of highly successful films from film and studio productions and music by some of the most talented composers in the industry.”
With $100 million in funding from Metropolitan Partners Group and Pinnacle Bank, it launched Multimedia Music earlier this year by acquiring a catalog of all music and copyright revenue from nine-time composer James Newton Howard.
This most popular collection also includes film and TV scores for the “Fantastic Beasts”, “Hunger Games” trilogy, “The Dark Knight”, “Maleficent”, “Raya and the Last Dragon”, “Snow White and the Huntsman”, “King Kong” and I Am Legend,” “Blood Diamond,” “Runaway Bride,” “ER,” “Emily in Paris,” and “Pretty Woman.”
Led by industry veterans Phil Hope (Founder and CEO, pictured above, right) and Gibb, Multimedia Music focuses on acquiring and managing copyright and income streams from music featured in internationally successful film and television productions. The firm’s executive and advisory team includes Lord Michael Grid, Simon Fawcett, Robert Hawler and Robert Arts.
