A legal battle over the Taiwanese rights to “Looper,” “Hope Springs,” “Magic Mike” and more than 900 films has ended in a settlement between Asian film distributor CatchPlay and film buyer Studio Solutions Group and its principal Johnny Lin.
Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed, but a judge has ruled that CatchPlay is the actual licensee of the distribution rights for the films in question.
The lawsuits between the companies dragged on for more than a year, prompting waves of allegations and counter-charges. The dispute kicked off after Studio Solutions tried to revoke all of CatchPlay’s distribution rights to the films it helped it license.
