Deluxe has inked an agreement with Warner Bros. Pictures to be the studio’s primary provider for a wide range of post-production and home entertainment-related services.
According to the new agreement, Deluxe will be WB’s primary outsource partner for post-production services and under the multi-year agreement, and in collaboration with the team at GDMX, Deluxe will serve as Warner Bros. primary provider of creative, production, localisation and distribution services.
The deal will drive significant savings and materially enhance security for WB, as well as set the stage for next-generation distribution strategies, including day and date releases across multiple distribution channels.
Earlier this year, Deluxe pacted with Sony to take over Sony Colorworks and provide digital intermediate, mastering and restoration services on a non-exclusive basis. GDMX provides a range of services for home entertainment and digital distribution. Deluxe intends to move quickly to integrate it into its family of companies, which includes DI provider Company3, visual effects firm Method Studios and 3D conversion specialist StereoD.
