Why it matters
Cinépolis is expanding its distribution efforts across Central America. This move comes as homegrown Mexican films currently capture only 3% to 4% market share in the region, compared to 10% in pre-pandemic years. The company is seeking fresh, original films to broaden its content offerings.
