Cinedigm May 12 announced it has entered into a multiyear deal with Hannover House’s releasing unit, Medallion Releasing, to distribute the latter’s indie DVDs and Blu-ray Disc titles.

Cinedigm’s distribution agreements include most of the mass-merchant and big-box retailers such as Walmart, Kmart, Target, Costco, Best Buy and Sam’s Club. In addition, Cinedigm will assist with production solicitation, in-store merchandising strategies and consumer marketing related to store placement support.

The deal provides Cinedigm with a pipeline of marketable films, television series and specials including, Dark Awakening, Brutal Colors, Salvation and Union Bound. Additionally, Cinedigm will handle the North American home video rights to 10 bigger-budget theatrical releases from Medallion that are being presented at the Cannes Film Festival in France.
