The Universal Pictures announced on Wednesday that the studio had signed a five-year deal with Spielberg’s Amblin Partners, a consortium of Dream Works Studios, Participant Media, Reliance Entertainment and Entertainment One. Universal Pictures will create and distribute Amblin Partners’ film in the domestic market. Same works will apply to some of international film markets.

Spielberg expressed his positive feeling about the contract. “The same magnet that pulled me to Universal when I first wanted to make movies is bringing me home again to this new exciting relationship,” Spielberg said in the statement. “It is my hope that we can make some more beautiful music together.”
