Saturday's announcement was not unexpected since UIP has lost three of the four studios that once supplied it with pics. The most recent was Paramount, which recently appointed a new prexy, Ichiro Okazaki, to head its Japan ops, starting Sept. 1.
Ironically, UIP is enjoying success this summer with the smash hit "Transformers." Still to come on its second-half lineup are "Black Snake Moan" (September), "The Kingdom" (October), "Stardust" (November) and "A Mighty Heart" (December).
