Lionsgate in Spain - Distribution Agreement

[PonyoBellanote]

Hello, I have an interesting thing to bring up for the following months.. today, Arvi Licensing (a distributor in Spain, that mostly distributes majors like Warner, Universal, etc) just announced today that they made an agreement with Lionsgate to distribute Lionsgate titles in Spain.

They do say in the newsletter that they have plans to start negotiations in the coming months to release movies in Spain that have not been released here (one of the distributors who have the rights for select recent Lionsgate titles, Diamond Films, has expressed that they don't have plans to release any of the movies in physical, despite the public interest on it)

The reason I make this thread, is.. for when they are added in the database in the coming months.. who shouild be the studio? Because, Arvi, again, does NOT make the discs; they only distribute. They do make clear that they are distributing for Lionsgate, so there's good chances that the discs will have just Lionsgate's name on it. And there's a good chance (although not confirmed yet) that Lionsgate will be the one making the discs, because in past history, past distributors just followed Lionsgate's authoring patterns)

But these discs (at least in the coming months and until they start making new discs) will be reissues of older eOne discs (eOne was a now defunct company that had distribution agreement with Liosngate until they went down, and funny enough, Arvi had an agreement with them as well before that)

I personally believe the ''Studio'' label for when these get added to the database should be ''Lionsgate'' as the cover art, etc everything will have Lionsgate's name mostly.

But I know it'll be controversial here because A LOT of people think the distributors should be in the ''studio'' tag, which I've always found ultra confusing but wrong.

What are your thoughts?
