“I’m pleased to report a strong financial quarter with another record library performance,” said Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer. “We continued to execute our strategic agenda culminating in our signing a definitive agreement with Hasbro last week to acquire global entertainment platform eOne. The acquisition checks off all the boxes by adding thousands of titles to our library, growing our portfolio of brands and strengthening our scripted and unscripted television business.
Lionsgate also said that Starz had made a strategic decision to exit Latin America by the end of 2023, and will instead focus its operations on the U.S., U.K. and Canada, a sign that it is curtailing its global ambitions.
