Successful Producer Kopelson's New film Tops the US Cinema Charts

Positive Effects for Partnership with Intertainment AG

Ismaning / Munich 3 October 2001 - Arnold Kopelson's new film "Don't Say A Word" has already played in around 18 million US Dollars in its opening weekend. That makes the thriller, starring Michael Doug-las in the lead role, the most successful picture. "Although 'Don't Say A Word' is not a project from the contract between Arnold Kopelson and Intertainment, we are, of course, extremely pleased about our partner's success", Rüdiger Baeres, chairman of Intertainment AG, Ismaning / Munich said, adding that Intertainment will profit indirectly from the achievement of the new Kopelson film. A producer is always judged by his latest film. "As the owners of the rights to Kopelson's future films we will now be in an ideal position for negotiations on distribution con-tracts for these films." Over the next five years, Intertainment will be producing at least ten films in collaboration with Arnold Kopelson.

The first two joint projects of Intertainment AG and star-producer Arnold Kopelson are currently in development: "Window to Atlantis", a super-natural genre film, and a thriller with the title "Decoy".

Kopelson is one of Hollywood's most successful producers. His latest ten films chalked up a total of 17 Oscar nominations and two billion box office Dollars. Among the best known Kopelson productions are the Oscar winning "Platoon", "The Fugitive", "Outbreak", "Seven" and "The Devil's Advocate".
