It added that the movie was funded with the studio’s own money, and it premiered and distributed on the service completely free of charge. Interesting enough, it also appears that Lacuna Pictures isn’t the only party affected, as others have recently revealed to not receive payments from iflix as well.
As of today, we haven’t received any payment from iflix. — DAULAT (@daulatmovie) July 17, 2020 Although unconfirmed by the organisation itself, a source familiar with the matter told website TwentyTwo13 that the Malaysian Football League (MFL) has taken legal action against the streaming service which the league has partnered together back in 2018. They did not reveal exactly how much the company was sued for, but said that it was “in the millions.” The site added that the source could not reveal too much regarding the case as it has been brought to court.
The next to take legal action against iflix is not an organisation, but an individual. Nicolas Anil is a football pundit and journalist who did social media work for the streaming service since 2018. However, the company has not responded to his payment request since September of last year, which left him no choice but to take the matter to court.
— Nicolas Anil (@nicolas_anil) July 27, 2020 It was reported back in June that Tencent is now the official owners of the iflix service after the departure of the latter’s co-founders in the same month. While the move may have saved the streaming service from meeting its demise, its new owner revealed that it will not take on the existing debt which is still owed to related vendors.
