History
Exclusive Media was founded by producers Nigel Sinclair and Guy East in 2008. In 2012, Exclusive Media acquired a minority stake in U.S. distribution company Millennium Entertainment.[1] Exclusive Media also acquired the home entertainment rights to Icon Entertainment International's library, which will add to its library of almost over 900 titles.[2] In March 2014, East and Sinclair left Exclusive Media and formed a new company, White Horse Pictures.[3] Marc Schipper is now CEO of Exclusive Media. The company will now focus on sales and managing its library of 1,000 films.[4]
In September 2015, AMBI Group in collaboration with New York-based private equity firm Raven Capital Management, assumed control of the majority of Exclusive Media Group library and took on a number of development projects as well as all sequel and remake rights owned by EMG. The library contained almost 400 titles including Begin Again, Cruel Intentions, Ides Of March, Hit & Run, Memento, The Mexican, Parkland, Rush, The Skulls, Sliding Doors, Snitch, Undefeated, The Way Back, The Passion of the Christ, Apocalypto, What Women Want, Jane Got a Gun, End of Watch, Dark Places and Adore.[5][6]
