Morgan Creek Selling Off Film Library

[DMRI2006]

Might be worth keeping a tab on this, as it could put the WB/Morgan Creek titles out of print for a time while they move onto another studio or label -- similar to the Regency/WB dealings from this past summer (unless Warner actually buys the library themsevles):

Morgan Creek has identified several potential bidders as the company behind “Robin Hood: Prince of Theives” and “The Last of the Mohicans” prepares to sell domestic rights to its film library.

Studios, mini-majors, and private equity firms have all expressed interest, although no one has formally bid and a timeline for a possible sale has yet to be established.

“It’s early in the process,” said Greg Mielcarz, executive VP of marketing and publicity at Morgan Creek. “There are no frontrunners at the moment.”

The company is offering up rights to 65 of its films and has tapped Houlihan Lokey to serve as its investment banker. There are certain films that the company will retain remake or television rights to, among them “The Exorcist,” “Ace Ventura,” “Major League” and “Clive Barker’s Nightbreed.”
