Disney’s #DreamBigPrincess to take position at United Nations HQ in New York in January

Disney’s #DreamBigPrincess is to take the spotlight at the United Nations HQ in New York with photographs from female photographers to be exhibited there throughout the first week of January. The project taps into the power of Disney Princess stories to encourage kids to follow their dreams.

The campaign which was developed in association with Girl Up, UNICEF and the UN Children’s Fund will feature images captured by nineteen female photographers from fifteen countries showcasing the inspiring stories of real-world girls and women, as part of Disney’s Dream Big, Princess initiative launched in 2016.

“This initiative is about celebrating the positive impact of strong female role models, whether that’s Moana, Tiana or one of the amazing real-world subjects of the #DreamBigPrincess images,” said Jimmy Pitaro, chairman, Disney consumer products and interactive media.

“We’re thrilled with the response to the campaign and excited to partner with Girl Up, at the United Nations Foundation to showcase these powerful images to such an international audience,” he summed up.

The display will feature the images from the campaign’s award-winning photographers and their subjects that have turned their dreams into reality.

From the youngest ever speaker at the UN to a gold-medal-winning Chinese Paralympian, the founder of the first female cycling team in Bamiyan, Afghanistan, a teenage author of a STEM coding book for kids, and a young surf champion from Brazil, the images will  spotlight a diverse range of stories to connect with kids and families around the world.

For each like or post of a #DreamBigPrincess photo during the campaign timeframe, Disney will donate $1 to Girl Up to support girls’ leadership and empowerment.

Since their release in August, the images have been liked and shared millions of times online, enabling Disney to donate $1 million to Girl Up

The exhibit will be open for public viewing in the UN visitors lobby via pre-scheduled guided tours Monday-Friday or on the weekends via a UN security pass.

Paramount Pictures ends financing agreement with Chinese film company Huahua Media

Paramount Pictures and Chinese film company Huahua Media have reached an agreement to end their slate financing arrangement that would have financed 25 per cent of the Paramount film slate in fiscal 2017, 2018 and 2019.The news comes following recent changes to Chinese foreign investment policies.

Despite the dissolved financing partnership, Paramount will continue to maintain its relationship with Huahua and looks forward to exploring opportunities to work together in the future.

Furthermore, Paramount has secured a series of individual financing agreements with partners including Hasbro, Skydance Media and SEGA among others.

These partners will provide committed or expected financing for approximately 25 per cent of the production costs of the studio’s film slate for fiscal 2018 and 2019.

“The actions we are announcing today establish a financing model that is better aligned to Paramount’s new strategic approach to film production,” says Jim Gianopulos, chairman and chief executive officer, Paramount. “Our focus on a more balanced slate–a mix of big, broad-audience films and more targeted and co-branded films made with greater fiscal discipline–demands a more flexible and tailored financing model going forward. This structure positions us to capture more upside beyond 2019 as the new slate takes full effect,” he ends.

Additionally, Viacom, the parent company of Paramount Pictures, expects a negative net impact of $59 million in the fourth fiscal quarter in connection with the termination of the Huahua agreement.
