FIC Inks Singapore Co-Pro Deal for Feature Films

HONG KONG/SINGAPORE: FOX International Channels (FIC) has inked a co-production deal with Singapore's mm2 Asia that gives its Chinese movies channel SCM first-run and exclusive pay-TV rights for four upcoming theatrical features.

The titles covered in the pact are Jack Neo’s Ah Boys to Men 3: Frogmen and Long Long Time Ago, 3688 from Roystan Tan and 1965, co-produced by Daniel Yun and directed by Randy Ang.

“Asia will soon be one of the biggest movie markets in the world and FIC is committed to playing a dominant role in this growth," said Cora Yim, senior VP of Chinese entertainment and territory head of Hong Kong. "mm2 Asia has a strong slate of local films and we see collaborations with such regional companies to be an important part of our future strategy. We believe Singaporean produced films have the potential to reach audiences beyond its shores. FIC is pleased to lend its resources to give Singaporean produced films the wider reach they deserve.”
