In January, it said it was co-financing the drama film "The Kite Runner" (2007) with Sidney Kimmel Entertainment and DreamWorks Pictures, the latter company then owned by Viacom via Paramount Pictures.

That spring, the company took an equity position in "Angels in the Dust" (2007), a documentary film about children orphaned by AIDS, and paid the filmmaker to update the film and shoot more footage.
