The article I read is about Lionsgate and CBS films will become partners entering the new year. The partnership is more on the business side of thing and  expected to show great promise as the two companies already produce great revenues world-wide. The two companies had already partnered up in the past can released successful films and TV series.
I chose this article because two big name entertainment companies are going to be working together and it interested me to see what collaborating they would be doing. This article is important because when two big name companies decide to work together, there is always a reasons for this. I remember hearing that Lionsgate films did not produce as much profits as previous years, so this collaboration could be an attempt by Lionsgate to get some back by working with a successful company. As a student and filmmaker this shows me that even successful companies have to ask for help. As a consumer this shows me that two big name companies are going to be working together and kind of raises my expectations for the quality of the films. This article raises a few questions in my head, such why the sudden partnership? Could Lionsgates failure in the film department cause this partnership? Why would CBS agree if Lionsgate is having a slow year in the film department?
