Celestial Tiger Entertainment (CTE), formerly Tiger Gate Entertainment, is a diversified media company based in Hong Kong that operates pay television entertainment channels in Asia and oversees Lionsgate distribution rights in Greater China and Southeast Asia.[1] It is a joint venture co-owned by Saban Capital Group, Lionsgate and Celestial Pictures.

Overview

Celestial Tiger Entertainment was founded in 2008 as Tiger Gate Entertainment, as a joint venture between private media investment firm Saban Capital Group and entertainment company Lionsgate. Pay television channels Kix and Thrill were later launched in August 2009.[2]

Celestial Pictures Limited joined Tiger Gate Entertainment in late 2011 adding the already established Celestial Classic Movies and Celestial Movies to the company's channel lineup.[3][4] Following this partnership, the company was renamed Celestial Tiger Entertainment and the high definition (HD) feed was added to existing channels for territories in Asia.[5]

In 2013, cHK was launched in Singapore with Hong Kong celebrities Bernice Liu, Him Law and Liu Kai-chi hosting a media event to promote cHK as a Hong Kong general entertainment channel.[6][7]

On August 15, 2024, CTE launches its first Chinese movie streaming app, CMGO, in Singapore, which focuses on the latest and greatest Chinese movies from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia.

Lionsgate partnership

CTE owns the Shaw Brothers film library[8] and leverages a library of film and TV from Lionsgate.[9]

In February 2012, YOU On Demand Holdings and Lionsgate announced deal to show a number of Lionsgate films on a Transactional Video On Demand (TVOD) and Subscription Video On Demand (SVOD) basis in China.[10]

In 2013, CTE sold over 1700 hours of Lionsgate TV series and movies (including Anger Management, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, and the Hunger Games franchise) to broadcasters and media platforms in southeast Asia and China as part of a regional distribution deal.[11] CTE also expanded its Southeast Asian distribution deal with Lionsgate to cover Japan and Korea,[12] and sold a further 700 hours of TV series and feature films in an SVOD deal with MediaCorp’s Toggle digital platform in Singapore.[13][14]
