In June 2002, Cineflix launched its international distribution arm based in London, England named Cineflix International with Cineflix appointing Paul Heaney as their managing director of Cineflix's new United Kingdom-based British international distribution division; By September 2011, Cineflix would later rebrand its British international distribution division to Cineflix Rights as part of a strategic move to grow the distribution business, increase revenues and to reflect its global distribution market.

As part of the deal, Curve Media took over Cineflix's UK operations and acquired a state of Cineflix's British production catalogue including Salvage Hunters as Cineflix Media's distribution arm Cineflix Rights retained distribution to Cineflix Productions UK catalogue.
