Catchplay (stylized as CATCHPLAY) is a Taiwanese multimedia company founded in 2007. The business includes OTT VOD streaming service operation, linear television channel operation (CatchPlay Movie Channel), and theatrical film distribution. It operates as the Taiwanese branch of CatchPlay, Inc. (Chinese: 威望國際娛樂股份有限公司), a company registered in the Cayman Islands.[citation needed]

In 2014 the brand began to extend into more diverse aspects of the movie entertainment industry. Its first production investment was co-financing the Taiwanese film Paradise in Service. Since then, Catchplay has expanded its investments to include three New Regency films; most notably The Revenant and Assassin’s Creed in 2016–17. In 2015, Catchplay began partnering with local telecom providers across Southeast Asia to launch Catchplay On Demand, a premium movie on-demand service.[1]
