This deal signifies the end of any distribution legalities for the Friday The 13th franchise. All past films will now reside under roof for future home video releases and theatrical re-releases.
This new merger is separate from any new films being developed through Jason Universe (Horror Inc.) and Friday 13th LLC (Victor Miller and Marc Toberoff). Any new films made with these entities cannot use the Friday The 13th title without involving the new Paramount/Warner Bros. Company.
