Disney has announced that they will begin releasing all new DreamWorks full features on DVD beginning in 2010, taking over the job from the current distributor, Paramount.
The deal is effective for all regions except for India, added a Disney spokesperson.
It is not entirely clear yet, but Paramount should retain all home entertainment rights to DVD titles that released prior to 2010 including blockbusters such as "Tropic Thunder", "Blades of Glory" and "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street".
Notably, DreamWorks Animation is not included in the new deal, as Paramount will continue to release all Animation projects through 2012. A few of the blockbusters from that unit include the "Shrek" franchise and "Madagascar."
