VIDEO : Steven Spielberg?s DreamWorks to Leave Disney Possibly for Universal

Steven Spielberg?s DreamWorks will not renew its current distribution deal with the Walt Disney Co., which expires in August, sources have confirmed to Variety. The Disney deal dates back to 2009, but since then Disney has acquired both Marvel and Lucasfilm, underlining its focus on branded, tentpole films. Disney will release two more DreamWorks films, both directed by Spielberg, before the deal expires: Tom Hanks? Cold War thriller ?Bridge of Spies? on Oct. 16 and ?The BFG? on July 1. Sources also indicate that DreamWorks is most likely to wind up with a distribution deal at Universal while emphasizing that no agreement has been reached.
