Universal has struck a five-year agreement with the independent film producer Media Rights Capital to distribute their films, the companies announced today.
The agreement to release 20 films over the next five years expands a collaboration between the two companies, 
which partnered on such films as ‘Bruno’ and ‘The Adjustment Bureau.’
The distribution agreement will begin in 2011.
In a statement, Universal Pictures chairman Adam Fogelson recognized the quality of MRC’s films. “We’ve been continually impressed with the quality of talent that MRC brings to the table,” he said. “By leveraging our strong marketing and distribution operations we can augment our own slate and expand our relationship with MRC, bringing more value to Universal.”
