Studio Santa Claus Secures Joint Theater Distribution and Ancillary Rights for Second Half of the Year

Studio Santa Claus announced on the 14th that it is expanding its related business by securing ancillary rights for highly anticipated films alongside confirming the release schedules of jointly distributed theatrical works for the second half of this year.

Studio Santa Claus Entertainment has been enhancing its business capabilities by reorganizing its investment and distribution divisions in the first half of this year and recruiting talented personnel in key positions.

They have been preparing to secure and provide a variety of domestic and international content, and from the second half of this year, they are strategically expanding their business by increasing theatrical distribution and securing ancillary rights for anticipated works.

The jointly distributed theatrical works by Studio Santa Claus scheduled for release in the second half of this year are approaching their premiere dates.

The 2023 Sundance Film Festival Jury Grand Prize winner, "Scrapper," is confirmed to be released on September 27 during the Chuseok season, and the horror film series popular in Taiwan, "Yeogwigyo (working title)," which was released in 2020 and even had a game launched, is expected to premiere in November.

Additionally, Studio Santa Claus is focusing its efforts on securing ancillary rights for quality content. Following the highly talked-about release of "Killing Romance" in the first half of the year, several films scheduled for release in the second half are currently awaiting release.

They have acquired ancillary rights for "Bright Her," set to return to the screen in October after three years, featuring acclaimed actors such as Uhm Jung-hwa, Song Sae-byeok, Son Byung-ho, and Kim Jae-hwa, as well as "Ordinary Family," starring Sol Kyung-gu, Jang Dong-gun, and Kim Hee-ae, which was officially invited to the Toronto International Film Festival, one of the world's top four film festivals.

For mid- to long-term growth, Studio Santa Claus is pursuing several projects in the second half of the year. The recently established distribution division is leveraging existing management know-how and professional personnel to procure high-quality products domestically and internationally, while building sales channels using SNS platforms.

A representative from Studio Santa Claus stated, "This year, we have worked to improve management efficiency through the reorganization of all business divisions and to strengthen financial soundness," adding, "Based on strategic pre-investments in the right places, we aim to make this a year of growth by efficiently expanding existing businesses, broadening ancillary rights operations, and launching new distribution businesses."
