Chapter 560: Captain America 2 Premieres

Also this week, after several rounds of negotiations and consultations, Lionsgate Films and Warner Bros. Pictures reached an agreement on co-developing the character 'Joker'.

Initially, Lionsgate Films wanted to acquire the adaptation rights to 'Joker', but this proposal was rejected by Warner, who clearly stated that they did not want to sell this potentially valuable character, but rather hoped to collaborate with Lionsgate Films on developing 'Joker'.

After negotiations, Lionsgate Films acquired the five-year adaptation rights to 'Joker' for eight million US Dollars, and promised to reserve a 45% investment share for Warner during the production of the Joker movie. After the movie's release, Lionsgate Films will be responsible for the distribution in the North American Region, while Warner Bros. Pictures will handle distribution in overseas regions.
