Here's the link for the "updated" film production report...I don't think much has changed from the last prod-rep' except the name change and possibly the cast for 'The Technician' which has the names of Kevin Bacon and Kurt Russell on the cover. Kevin Bacon should fill a few cinema/theatre seats, I'm guessing Kurt's just looking to keep his toe in the film industry, bwdik.

I suppose we should create a new thread using the CMCP epic code.

Could someone who is a PBB member (the blue ones) do it as then we have more chance (not 100%) of keeping out various folks who seem to have no other purpose than to chase/fight each other around the boards.

Current market cap. £2.4 million.

Here's a slightly different view point :

StockMarketWire.com - Media rights and sales group Content Media Corporation plc said it expects its full-year results to meet management expectations after solid trading across the group for the 12 months to March 31.

The group said trading in the television division had been strong with library revenues holding up particularly well.

Trading in the film division had been steady within a continually challenging market environment. While library revenues had held up well, margins in sales of new films had been lower.

In the digital division, sales of multi-platform programming had continued to be strong and revenue from traditional programme catalogue sales to digital platforms had increased significantly.

Resolutions to change the name of the company from ContentFilm plc to Content Media Corporation were passed today (Mar 14). Its shares are expected to be trading under the new ticker CMCP from tomorrow.

At 11:19am (LON:CFL) Contentfilm share price was +0.06p at 1.33p.

looks like the name change is more to do with the demise of the film business than the diversification of the company! as for the results, last years results were solid and returned a loss of 700K so another solid years results may not be viewed as that impressive. The line that they keep spinning about tough markets doesn't seem to apply to Ent One, so it's a bit rich trying to covince us that they are doing well in adverse markets. Personally I think they are just about keeping their heads above water, which you tend to feel is enough for the managements to keep drawing their excessive salaries. The CEO is on £350k with bonuses, not sure that can be justified with the appalling loss of shareholder value.

Leaving the daytraders to one side,do I detect a whiff of optimism?

HBO Asia Ramps Up Content Offering

SINGAPORE – HBO will be bringing more exciting movies and series to its bouquet of channels in Asia, giving subscribers even more variety and choice of the best Hollywood movies and award-wining series.

In addition to having the latest, biggest and best Hollywood blockbuster movies which premieres on Asian television first on HBO due to the exclusive licensing deals with major Hollywood studies including Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures, Universal Studios and Warner Bros., HBO Asia has also sealed new and exclusive pay television deals with major independent distributors such as CBS, Content Films, EuropaCorp, FilmNation Entertainment, Lionsgate Entertainment, MGM, QED International, Summit Entertainment and WWE Films.

"With 70% of 2010's top 20 US box office hits coming to HBO this year, and the acquisition of more content from major independent movie distributors over and above the movies from our major Hollywood studio partners, HBO cements our position as the number one English movie channel in the region," says Magdalene Ew, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Creative and Content, HBO Asia. "Our subscribers can also continue to enjoy watching the biggest and the best movies from major Hollywood and independent studios alike, such as the most-awarded Oscar®-winning movies, The King's Speech and Inception, as well as award-winning series and HBO Original programs on HBO."

Some award-winning movies from major independent studios coming to HBO include Film Nation's The King's Speech, which collected four Oscars® at the 83rd Academy Award® recently; the super-hero comedy caper, Kick-Ass from Lions Gate; the action comedy, Red by Summit Entertainment, which stars Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren and Morgan Freeman; and CBS' romantic comedy starring Jennifer Lopez, The Back Up Plan.

HBO subscribers will also get to see WWE wrestlers, not in the ring, but in feature films produced by WWE Films. HBO Asia has secured the exclusive pay television rights to premiere WWE Studios feature films including Legendary, starring professional wrestler, John Cena, and Knucklehead, starring five-time wrestling world-champion, Paul Wright, also known as The Big Show.

In addition, HBO Asia has acquired movies from popular franchises such as the James Bond film series with Die Another Day, Goldeneye, The World Is Not Enough and Tomorrow Never Dies and others. Another popular franchise, Rocky, will also air courtesy of HBO.

HBO will continue to air new and distinctive HBO Original programs this year including the Emmy® and Golden Globe®-winning Boardwalk Empire, Temple Grandin and You Don't Know Jack, as well as the much anticipated brand-new HBO Original series, Game Of Thrones.

For the first time ever, MAX, a refresh of CINEMAX, will have its own original drama series on the male-skewed action, sci-fi and mystery channel. Strike Back, an action series that is co-produced with Sky, is a high octane action-packed drama series based on a multi-million best-selling book of the same name by former Special Forces officer Chris Ryan.

HBO Asia has also acquired more live action family series to boost its content on HBO FAMILY, the movie channel featuring wholesome movies that families can enjoy together. New half-hour family series such as Dinosapien, Majority Rules, Snobs, Storm World and Wannabe from distributors such as BBC, Entertainment One Television and ITV Global Entertainment, will debut in Asia on HBO FAMILY.

In addition to having more movies and series on the HBO linear channels, subscribers of HBO ON DEMAND, a Subscription Video On Demand service currently available in Hong Kong, Singapore and Sri Lanka, will also have more movies and series to choose from, and at a higher refresh rate.

Content Media Corporation plc

-- Trading Update

The Board of Content Media Corporation plc, a pre-eminent owner of media rights supported by strong film, TV and digital sales divisions, today provides shareholders with a trading update.

As the Company approaches its year end of 31 March 2011 (FY11), the Company is pleased to report that trading for FY11 across the Group has been solid. Following on from the pleasing results last year, the Company expects to have another similarly positive year with results that will meet management's expectations.

Trading in the television division has been strong with library revenues holding up particularly well. Additionally, the Company has had a strong year from its drama offerings which included its returning drama shows "Heartland" and "Republic of Doyle" and its brand new drama, "Thorne". Furthermore the division is pleased to announce that Collins Avenue has recently secured three US broadcast commissions, totalling 15 hours of production in total.

Trading in the film division has been steady within a continually challenging market environment. Whilst library revenues have held up well, margins in sales of new films have been lower in FY11. "Ironclad" has begun its worldwide distribution and "The Divide" and "Age of Heroes" have recently been completed. The division acquired two completed films at this year's Sundance Film Festival - Morgan Spurlock's "POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold" and "Knuckle" - and we expect the sequel to one of its franchise films to be announced shortly.

Our digital division continues to grow and maintains its market leadership. Sales in FY11 of multi platform programming have continued to be strong and revenues from traditional programme catalogue sales to digital platforms have increased significantly. In particular, we have been pleased with the performance of newly launched multi platform properties like "The Booth" and "Pretty Tough" from our partner, Vuguru, and "The Cut" from the BBC. Sales of existing multi platform properties such as "Valemont" and "Happy Tree Friends" have also remained strong.

Following approval earlier today of the Company's change in name, the new branding for the Company is currently being released. Details of the branding will be available on the Company's web-site.

Mr John Schmidt, Chief Executive Officer of Content Media Corporation, commented:

"As we approach the end of our fiscal year, I am pleased to report that trading has been solid and we expect a similarly positive result to last year. Our television division has done very well this year, with strong library sales and growth in drama. Our digital division has had another year of growth and the recent investment in Spirit digital media and the ongoing Vuguru product are expected to continue that trend. Film sales are holding up, but it continues to be a challenging market sector. We thank our shareholders for approving our name change which will rebrand our business as we integrate our efforts across film, television, and digital sales."
