Los Angeles, CA / December 16, 2013 /
ACCESSWIRE / A three-picture distribution pact with
U.K.'s Northbank Entertainment has launched solidly, with
significant initial shipments for U.S. film distributor, Hannover
House, Inc. (OTC: HHSE) and the January 7th home video release of
"Amityville Asylum." Hannover House reports that initial shipments
into Walmart Stores nationwide represented the largest single order
of DVDs for the company in the past two years, indicative of the
strong consumer following for Amityville-themed horror films. As
per the stated policy of Walmart, specific unit quantities for the
Hannover House shipment were not released.
"This is a very exciting result for our new pact with Northbank
Entertainment," said Fred Shefte, President of Hannover House.
"Industry reports show a powerful sales history for all prior
Amityville branded DVD releases, so we're optimistic that we will
see a similar reaction to this new title. We are also very excited
about the next two releases from Northbank, which have also
generated positive feedback from our key retailers."
"Amityville Asylum" will arrive onto Walmart shelves January 7,
2014. The film tells the story of the conversion and expansion of
the infamously haunted Long Island, NY home into an asylum for the
criminally insane. The volatility of the situation ultimately
explodes into a frightening assault from the supernatural and
malevolent forces inhabiting the building.
The three picture pact with Northbank Entertainment also
includes the thrillers, "Midnight Horror Show" and "Valley of the
Witch," both of which wrapped principal photography recently in
Wales, under the direction of Northbank's Andrew Jones. Hannover
House is planning on a July release for "Midnight Horror Show" and
an October release for "Valley of the Witch."
In addition to "Amityville Asylum," Hannover House is also
releasing the acclaimed drama in January, "Blues for Willadean."
The award-winning film, from director Del Shores, stars Oscar
winner Octavia Spencer ("The Help") as well as Beth Grant ("The
Mindy Project") and Dale Dickey ("Iron Man 3"); February home video
releases for Hannover House include the Jules Verne animated
classics collection ("20,000 Leagues Under The Sea", "Journey to
the Center of the Earth" and "Around the World in 80 Days"), and
shipments of the first eight titles into Walmart Canada under the
recently enacted distribution pact with Allegro Media Group; March
releases are highlighted by the thrillers "The Possession Within"
and the Sundance Film Festival Audience Award Winning "To.Get.Her:
The Spring Break Murders."
Hannover House will be pursuing a dual-track business model in
2014 and 2015, balancing a monthly home video release slate of two
or three "direct to video" (or limited theatrical release) titles,
with three high-end titles annually. The higher-profile,
bigger-budgeted (and major-star driven) lead titles are expected to
dramatically increase the company's revenues and stature, while
also benefitting the core titles through package sales
opportunities. Hannover House is also beginning to generate
international licensing sales revenues, as well as an expansion of
video-on-demand placements, including the company's own VODwiz.com
venture.
Hannover House stock is traded on the OTC Markets under ticker
symbol: HHSE. Stock Analysis site, HotStoqx.com, noted recently
that the HHSE share price (currently about $.014 / share),
represents a market capitalization that is less than 25% of the
company's value - and a share price that is less than 25% of the
Price-Earnings Average for other companies in the same industry.
Their conclusion was that the share price was irrationally
undervalued, and thus well-positioned for significant growth.
