Spackman Equities Group Inc. ("SEGI") (TSX VENTURE:SQG) announced today that ALL
ABOUT MY WIFE, a romantic comedy produced by its Korean movie production
subsidiary, Zip Cinema Co., Ltd. ("Zip"), will be playing in select theatres
across North America. The Korean hit movie, which has become one of Korea's
highest-grossing romantic comedies of all time, opens today in Toronto,
Vancouver, Los Angeles, New Jersey, and Chicago.


In addition, ALL ABOUT MY WIFE, after being shown at the Cannes Film Festival
marketplace last month, was selected as the International Premiere at the
upcoming New York Asian Film Festival and will play on July 5, 2012 at New
York's Lincoln Center. The movie is also invited to the Hawaii International
Film Festival in October of this year, an event that attracts over 80,000 people
annually.


According to Zip, "This move into North America was made possible due to the
movie's storyline which transcends geographical and cultural barriers, and is a
film that people overseas can also relate."


Through favourable critical and word-of-mouth reviews and its star-studded cast,
ALL ABOUT MY WIFE has sold 4,006,788 tickets at the Korean box office since its
opening on May 17, 2012, grossing more than KRW 29.92 billion (CAD 26.5 million)
according to official data provided by the Korea Box Office Information System
as of June 22, 2012. The commercial success of the film can be easily
highlighted when its box office performance is compared to its total budget of
KRW 4.9 billion (CAD 4.3 million).


ALL ABOUT MY WIFE is a romantic comedy directed by Min Gyoo-dong and features
top Korean stars, Im Soo-jeong, Lee Seon-gyoon, and Ryoo Seung-yong. The film is
about a husband that marries a seemingly perfect wife, but quickly discovers her
overbearing nature is too much for him to handle. To justify asking for a
divorce, he asks a skilled womanizer to seduce his wife, but the scheme does not
turn out as expected.
