Entertainment One buys Alliance

[Samuel_Scott]

Entertainment One have bought Alliance for $225m (Canadian).

I imagine there will be a lot of rebranding going on soon then. In the UK, Alliance owned at least Momentum Pictures and G2 Pictures so we'll see what happens, especially when Entertainment One have started to become a 'player' here the last couple of years.
