Recognise the documented older app
The official Google Play record names LEONINE Distribution GmbH and gives a March 2021 update date. Its description presents an arthouse, independent and underground film service with a watchlist and original-language versions for many films.
That record establishes an actual publisher product behind the retained name. It does not establish a new release in 2026, current device compatibility or the successful operation of an old subscription. Do not treat a recent search crawl as a recent app update.
Read the current website identity separately
The current cnmaarthouse.de imprint also identifies LEONINE Distribution GmbH. Its terms call the service CNMA ARTHOUSE and describe a registered streaming contract, residence conditions involving Germany or Austria and a changing licensed catalogue.
These are useful current primary facts. They do not, without an explicit continuity notice, prove that an old Arthouse CNMA account, app-store subscription or watchlist transfers to the reversed-name website. This guide found no primary migration instruction and makes no such promise.
Do not confuse ARTHAUS+ with either name
ARTHAUS+ has a different publisher identity: its legal imprint names STUDIOCANAL GmbH. Similar film interests and the shared arthouse word do not establish the same service, login or billing relationship.
If a receipt uses ARTHAUS+, follow that product’s specific lifecycle information rather than trying a LEONINE account. If the receipt uses Arthouse CNMA, retain its exact app-store product and publisher details when investigating the original entitlement.
Make an account decision from evidence
Compare the saved receipt, original sign-in method, developer name and current contract destination before starting another paid offer. Keep transaction references private. A matching logo or film poster is weaker evidence than the provider and product recorded on the confirmation.
For a film recommendation, retain director, year and intended language edition, then inspect the actual current item rather than relying on the older app’s broad collection description. This guide tests no account or Canadian playback. It resolves the naming problem enough to prevent an unsupported alias or migration claim while preserving the exact older product identity and the separately documented current service.
Arthouse CNMA and STUDIOCANAL’s ARTHAUS+ have different publisher evidence
LEONINE’s November 2021 release names ARTHOUSE CNMA as an established Prime subscription channel. The saved artwork also spells ARTHOUSE CNMA, whereas the separate ARTHAUS+ artwork identifies STUDIOCANAL’s product.
Keep the full name and seller on an older receipt. A similar art-house focus does not demonstrate a rebrand, account migration or shared subscription between these publishers. The older CNMA identity can be explained without promising a working current signup. Any later CNMA brand or direct-site transition needs its own evidence; common genre or operator-family history is insufficient to transfer an account.
