No one should be surprised that Lionsgate announced the purchase of eOne’s film and TV business for $500 million — we all knew that was coming — but it is totally reasonable to be confused. Lionsgate, which is already trying to sell its own studio, gets nearly 6,500 titles in the deal, including ongoing series like “Yellowjackets,” “The Rookie,” and “Naked and Afraid.” There’s also library content like “1917,” “Atomic Blonde,” “Green Book,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” and “Criminal Minds.” We don’t yet have the full list of what stays with Hasbro and what goes to Lionsgate, but we know unscripted competition series “Play-Doh Squished” is part of the transaction, and that Lionsgate gets the rights for an upcoming Monopoly movie.
