CatchPlay is a movie distribution and production company based in San Jose, Ca. Founded in 2007, CatchPlay has become a leading distributor of movies primarily in the Taiwan and Greater China regions. The company's primary business has been purchasing the exclusive distribution rights to major movies for all media including theatrical releases, DVD sell-through, DVD rentals, online (Netflix-style) rentals and digital distribution.

In 2009, the company [2] expanded its title inventory to 45 theatrical releases including I Come with the Rain, Crank: High Voltage, Drag Me to Hell, K-20: Legend of the Mask, The Duchess, and The Wrestler.
