As of 10 July 2019, Pinewood Iskandar Malaysia Studios is now known as Iskandar Malaysia Studios (IMS). A joint statement, via Deadline, says, "Pinewood Group's collaboration with IMS comes to a close by mutual agreement, following a 10 year partnership where Pinewood provided consultancy, brand and marketing services. "With the initial objectives of the collaboration achieved – including the development of the Studios in Malaysia – both parties will now focus on the next phase of their respective businesses."
