Peace Arch Entertainment Executes Agreement to Launch New Canadian Home Entertainment Label with MarVista Entertainment

Company Agrees to Provide Exclusive Distribution for Home Entertainment Titles to Canadian Marketplace

TORONTO--(MARKET WIRE)—October 20, 2006 -- Peace Arch Entertainment Group Inc. (AMEX:PAE - News) (TSX:PAE.TO- News), has entered into a video label/distribution agreement with MarVista Entertainment to distribute MarVista’s upcoming home entertainment titles to the Canadian marketplace. That announcement was made today by Fernando Szew, CEO, MarVista Entertainment and Berry Meyerowitz, President, Peace Arch Home Entertainment.

The first release, anticipated for a Q1 2007 street date, is The Ron Clark Story starring three-time Emmy Award-nominee Matthew Perry (Studio 60, Friends). Based on a real-life teacher who changed the culture of his inner-city New York classroom, The Ron Clark Story proved to be a ratings winner for TNT when the movie debuted on August 13th. Reaching 6.8 million viewers, the Ron Clark Story is the top-rated original film on cable for the year in the adults 18-49 demographic.

“The quality of MarVista’s content will add even more depth to our already strong line up of high quality commercial product for the Canadian marketplace. The Ron Clark Story is a great way to begin the relationship and we look forward to many more releases of this caliber over the years ahead,” said Mr. Meyerowitz

Peace Arch will provide all distribution and marketing services for the new releases, including the creation of packaging and promotional materials. All titles under the Peace Arch distribution deal will feature the MarVista Entertainment label.

“We are extremely confident that this will be a successful venture for us,” said Mr. Szew. “Peace Arch is philosophically in alignment with us. The company’s management team has a firm grasp of the challenges facing us all in the home entertainment industry. They are able to quickly address those challenges to maximize profits while maintaining the integrity of the product.”

Spearheading the label for MarVista Entertainment is Executive Vice President, George Port, an entertainment industry veteran and founder and former President of the highly successful home entertainment company Anchor Bay Entertainment.
