DreamWorks Picks Fox as Next Distrib Partner

It’s a wrap! 20th Century Fox will be the next releasing partner of DreamWorks Animation, it was announced today for the next five years. According to the new distribution deal, Jeffrey Katzenberg’s studio will release its animated through Fox (2013-2017) after its deal with Paramount expires at the end of this year. Fox will market and distribute the projects in domestic and global markets. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fox will take an 8 percent fee in traditional markets, including worldwide theatrical, home video and international television. That matches the deal DWA had with Paramount.
