DÜSSELDORF, 22 March 2022 - CLIQ Digital AG today announces its latest content deal with LEONINE Studios for more international blockbuster movies and series to be added to the company's offering in the DACH region.

Deal details & background

From 1 May 2022, CLIQ Digital's Movies & Series category in the DACH region will be significantly upgraded with over 200 hours of additional high-quality content licenced from LEONINE Studios in Munich. Highly popular and highly ranked movies with Academy Award-winning(R) and world-famous actors and directors as well as gripping international and domestic series will lift CLIQ's attractive catalogue of movies and series to a new level.

The LEONINE Studios content comprises numerous genres including thrillers, dramas, comedies, children's entertainment and documentaries. The library includes famous and popular titles such as "The Circle" with Emma Watson and Tom Hanks, "Wind River", "Wild Card", "Now You See Me" 1 & 2, "Hunter Killer" with Gerard Butler, "The Nice Guys", "The Expendables", "R.E.D. 2", Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof", Angelina Jolie in "Tomb Raider", "Asterix & Obelix", "The Gruffalo", the BBC's "Line of Duty", "Anger Management" with Charlie Sheen and "Da Vinci's Demons".

CLIQ Digital licences the content for all its streaming services, which makes the company independent of production pipelines, agile in choice and time-to-market, and keeps costs well under control. Including this latest deal, CLIQ's DACH Movies and Series catalogue boasts nearly 2,000 titles in total. According to a recent report by the European Audiovisual Observatory, the average number of films in a multi-country Subscription Video-on-Demand (SVoD) catalogue amounts to 805, which is less than half the size of CLIQ's DACH library.

LEONINE Studios is a leading independent German content house focusing on inspiring viewers with premium content and being a reliable partner for creative talents. With its three divisions LEONINE Production, LEONINE Distribution and LEONINE Licensing, the media company covers the entire value chain of the content business. LEONINE Studios has a market-leading licence library, which includes programmes in all formats and genres.
