Cinépolis Distribución organized a party in Mexico City for its fifth anniversary and also presented the new titles of films they are adding to their catalog this year, including their second co-production, La Herencia del Mal.

Leonardo Cordero, director of Cinépolis Distribución, assured that five years ago, after several positive experiences Cinépolis Distribución had with documentary distribution, the company saw the opportunity to create a distribution area centered on Mexican cinema.

Currently, along with distributing films in all the movie theaters in the country, they also acquire international titles and do international sales to other territories and windows with presence in the international cinema and TV markets. Their catalog has approximately 80 films, most of them Mexican.

“Some of the titles we started this year with are Perdida, from Dynamo, who has consolidated strongly in Colombia and is now producing in Mexico. We also have a documentary, Familia de Medianoche, that was screened in Sundance; Cuidado Con lo Que Deseas, starring Fernanda Castillo; our second co-production (with Invicta Films), La Herencia del Mal, starring Camila Sodi. We have comedy, drama, suspense, horror, and that is what we like: to realize that the Mexican audience is eage for his cinema to explore other genres,” he stated.

Another of the titles Cinépolis Distribución presented in their upfront was Amores Modernos, El Club de los Idealistas, Guía para un Viajero que no Quiere Preguntar and El Baile de los 41.
