Movies once owned by the Weinstein Co., including Oscar winner “The King’s Speech,” have found yet another home.
The film and television studio Lionsgate said Thursday that it has “acquired the vast majority” of the 200-film library held by Spyglass Media Group, which controls the catalog once owned by Harvey Weinstein’s former company.
Lionsgate is adding acclaimed titles such as “Django Unchained,” “Silver Linings Playbook” and “Fruitvale Station” to its arsenal of content as it looks to better compete amid an entertainment arms race.
Santa Monica-based Lionsgate, known for franchises including “The Hunger Games” and “Saw,” is also acquiring a 20% stake in Spyglass Media, based in Century City.
