DreamWorks made a new seven-year distribution deal with Universal Pictures reports Variety. The arrangement includes six films per year giving Universal an 8% distribution fee for releasing DreamWorks’ films. The pact technically can begin next year, although the first film in the new collaboration will likely be released in 2010 since Paramount Pictures is set to distribute DreamWorks films through the end of 2009.
