MUMBAI: The Weinstein Co. has inked an exclusive home-entertainment distribution deal with Vivendi Entertainment covering all titles in its catalogue.

The arrangement effectively replaces Genius Products as a distributor of Weinstein catalogue though it has not yet announced an arrangement for future new-release titles.

The pact is expected to produce 20 direct-to-DVD releases in a year.

Universal Home Entertainment will handle distribution on Inglourious Basterds which Universal co-financed with Weinstein.
