Posted on 24. Dec, 2009 by The James in Industry, Movie Releases, Theaters

Just a quick post before the holiday…according to Variety, Xpand is continuing to increase it’s hold on the international 3D market.  They’ve put together an agreement with Arclight to release the 3D films “Mulan” and “Bait” in Spain and some former Yugoslovian territories.  Also, it looks like Xpand has also acquired the rights for Spanish release of the 3D remastered version of “Night of the Living Dead” from our good friends over at Passmorelab (FYI, some cool stuff coming soon from Passmorelab, check science centers and museums in early 2010).

It looks like Spain is Xpand’s first step towards a major expansion into European 3D markets.  The Spanish outlet of Xpand will be controlled by SolotresD whose goal is to release six titles a year.  3D is catching on fast in spain with 3D capable theaters consisting of 5% of total theaters.  The market continues to grow.
