Backers included new investors Cinemagic and Lumia Capital and existing investors Azure Capital, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Felicis Ventures, and Georges Harik.

The company, which has raised over $21m in funding to date, also acquired Sha-Sha Entertainment in order to bring Hollywood and Arabic movies and TV shows to 22 countries in the Arab world.
