Variety reported, 'That means that the film could be considered domestically Chinese, which can provide the same benefits as a co-production.' While Chinese regulators did not grant Looper official co-production status, DMG's involvement with Looper as a Chinese company permitted its distribution of the film. DMG's involvement allowed it to distribute the film in China at the same time as its international premiere, where there was usually 'a blackout period' before non-Chinese films could be screened in China. After the companies closed the deal in January 2011, changes to film production included casting Chinese actress Summer Qing and setting part of the film in Shanghai. DMG became involved with Looper as Endgame Entertainment's Chinese partner. DMG also contributed to the productions of Looper (2012) and Iron Man 3 (2013) and distributed the films in theaters in China. Film production was added to DMG's portfolio in 2009, and its first production was The Founding of a Republic (2009).
