Glu Mobile clearly hasn't been put off movies by the poor box-office performance of Speed Racer, which may have harmed the sales prospects for its tie-in game.

The publisher has signed another movie-related deal, this time to distribute mobile games for Sony Pictures Television International, based on the latter's movie and TV properties.

The deal covers Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, but not the US.

The first game covered by the deal is Hancock, based on the upcoming Will Smith movie. It's due out this month. Glu will also be distributing Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy.

However, SPTI has made it clear that it will continue to manage the actual development of mobile games in-house, rather than simply outsourcing licences to Glu.

Whether the news shows that even Hollywood studios are struggling to secure deck space for their own titles is open to conjecture – SPTI may have simply decided its resources are better invested elsewhere.
