History
[edit]Founded in 2003 in Los Angeles, Kross Pictures is a cross-border film and television production company. The company is involved mainly in the identification and acquisition of proven intellectual property to create localized films and TV series for their respective markets. [citation needed]
Its first Chinese production, The Devotion of Suspect X, topped the Chinese box office at opening, with a total box office collection of CNY 410,000,000.[5][6]
Oh! Baby, its second Indian feature film production, was released on July 5, 2019 and became No.1 in the box office in the Telugu-speaking region.[citation needed]
On December 7, 2019, Kross Pictures launched Kross Komics, the first digital comics service in India, through its subsidiary Kross Komics, Inc.
On August 14, 2020, KakaoPage Corp. (now Kakao Entertainment) announced that it acquired 49% of Kross Pictures' shares for 5.9 billion won.[7]
The company has won two copyright infringement cases,[1] including one against the makers of the 2017 Kannada film Pushpaka Vimana, an unofficial remake of the 2013 Korean film Miracle in Cell No. 7 [8][9] and another against the makers of 2019 Tamil movie Kolaigaran, an unofficial adaptation of the Japanese novel The Devotion of Suspect X.[10]
In October 2021, Kakao Entertainment acquired the remaining 51% of Kross Pictures' shares, and in December 2021, 99% of Kross Komics' shares through Kross Pictures, thereby making both companies its wholly-owned subsidiaries.[11]
