The sale is part of a broader partnership, under which Lionsgate takes a 20% equity stake in Spyglass, and Spyglass gets a first-look TV deal with Lionsgate. The financial terms were not disclosed.
The sale includes three Quentin Tarantino films — “Django Unchained,” “Inglourious Basterds” and “The Hateful Eight” — as well as several other critically acclaimed Weinstein productions, including “Silver Linings Playbook,” “The Kings Speech” and “Fruitvale Station.”
