Paradox Entertainment

Cabinet Entertainment previously known as Paradox Entertainment is a company dealing in intellectual properties and making motion pictures thereof. All business is conducted from the main office in Los Angeles, USA.

The company owns rights to many IPs, the most famous of which is Conan the Barbarian as created by pulp author Robert E. Howard and expanded upon by many other authors over the years. Other properties include Bran Mak Morn, Kull, Solomon Kane, Mutant, Mutant Chronicles, Warzone, Kult, and Chronopia. Former licences include Heavy Gear.

Paradox Entertainment started out in 2001, created from the bankrupted Target Games (known at that time as Target Games Interactive), the major Swedish role-playing games company.

In 2004, the company moved its business to Los Angeles. At this time, the Stockholm operation was spun off into Paradox Interactive.

Paradox Entertainment claims that the company own the rights to all of Robert E. Howard's stories and characters.

On August 21, 2011 the day the 2011 Conan film opened, SLMI (Stan Lee Media Inc) sued (unsuccessfully) Paradox Entertainment, Conan Sales Co., Arthur Lieberman and others over the rights to Conan as they claim Conan was improperly transferred to Conan Sales Co. and sold to Paradox.

Fredrik Malmberg's new company Cabinet Entertainment has (thru Cabinet Holdings) acquired Paradox Entertainment Inc. and all subsidiaries and their properties, including the Robert E. Howard properties Conan, Kull, and Solomon Kane, as well as the original Target/Paradox properties Mutant Chronicles/Warzone, Kult, Chronopia, and Mutant. Purchase price for all shares in PEINC amounts to $7 million in cash.
