STX Scores Rights Deal With Universal Music

STX Entertainment has signed an exclusive worldwide deal with Universal Music Publishing Group that will see UPMG administer and rep the growing movie studio’s future soundtracks, scores and catalog of related music publishing rights across all media.

This will be a full-time gig for UMPG: STX is on track to produce, market and distribute 12-15 films a year (up next for them: thriller Secret in Their Eyes starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts which opens Friday). Earlier this month, the studio said it had locked down agreements in more than 50 territories to create a worldwide distribution network.
