THE  RANK  GROUP PLC ANNOUNCES CHANGES TO DELUXE VIDEO  SERVICES
INC. IN USA

The  Rank  Group announces that Deluxe Video Services  Inc.  has
reached   an   agreement  whereby  its  video  duplication   and
distribution   contract   with  Twentieth   Century   Fox   Home
Entertainment  ('Fox')  will end.  Full  service  will  continue
until  August  2000  after which time the services  provided  by
Deluxe will gradually reduce over the remainder of the year.

Deluxe's  other  contracts  with Fox  -  US  film  contract  and
European video contract - are unaffected.

As  previously announced, Rank's management has embarked upon  a
substantial restructuring programme for its US video duplication
and  distribution  business.   This  was  to  address  both  the
operating  performance of Deluxe Video Services Inc., which  has
not  been  at  the  required levels since  1998,  and  also  the
increasing expectation that demand for videos will decline  over
time.  This programme will now be accelerated, with a particular
emphasis  on focussing production and distribution on  the  more
cost-effective facilities, particularly Arkansas.

An  exceptional charge in the region of £35m will be included in
the Group's 2000 results to cover the costs of the restructuring
programme and write-off of certain assets relating to Fox.

The  effect  of  the  reduction in volume  on  profits  for  the
division  is  expected to be moderated by the  benefits  of  the
restructuring programme. The effect on operating profit  in  the
current  year  is  not expected to be material  to  the  Group's
results.
