American entertainment company Studio 8 was set up by Jeff Robinov, Mark Miner, and John Graham just six years ago. The production company has been behind movies like Alpha, White Boy Rick, and Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk. Not long after the company was launched it was announced Studio 8 had partnered with Fosun International.
Fosun and Studio 8 have worked closely ever since to produce many different projects. “There will be more opportunities to share Chinese elements and stories in Studio 8’s Chinese co-productions,” said Fosun in a statement. “This investment is a significant strategic footprint for Fosun in the global movie and entertainment industry.”
