Publishing house Kinema Junposha Co., a unit of film distributor Gaga Communications Inc., has acquired the management rights of the only English-language movie magazine in Japan, Gaga said Wednesday.
Kinema Junposha acquired the business rights to Movie/TV Marketing on April 1 from Rengo Film News Co. for an undisclosed sum.
The publisher will relaunch the magazine as Movie Marketing Asia, featuring stories about Japanese and other Asian movies, Gaga said.
The renamed English magazine will be published on a monthly basis from July, targeting about 30,000 readers, including those in movie-related businesses in the United States as well as in Japan, Gaga said.
