- LA-based film distributor Viva Pictures has picked up the US rights to Hitpig! (pictured), a CG-animated comedy about a bounty-hunting pig whose latest assignment involves retrieving a dancing elephant. British studio Aniventure (Paws of Fury) produced the pic, with Cinesite handling the animation work. Viva has slated it for a November 1 theatrical rollout across the US, a few weeks ahead of family-friendly heavy-hitters like Disney’s Moana 2 and Universal’s Wicked.
- Cineverse’s roster of FAST channels (including Barney and 9 Story Presents: Garfield and Friends) is moving onto Wurl’s Global FAST Pass—a network that’s connected to 173 million-plus CTVs monthly and more than 50 streamers globally. The partnership will allow Cineverse to streamline future channel launches and benefit from stronger ad monetization.
