Eagle Pictures Seals Italy Distribution & Production Deal With Sony Tarak Ben Ammar’s Italian distribution and production house Eagle Pictures has sealed a distribution and production deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment which will take effect from 2023. “The deal with Sony represents an important step in consolidating the company as one of the biggest players in the sector alongside Disney, Universal and Warner Bros Italia,” said Ben Ammar in a release.
Eagle Pictures was Italy’s top-performing distributor in the second quarter of 2022, thanks in part to its long-standing relationship with Paramount which saw it handle the Italian release of Top Gun: Maverick.
Under the deal, Eagle Pictures will handle the Italian release of SPE features and the partners will also produce five Italian and European films together, which will then be distributed internationally via Sony’s worldwide distribution network.
Ben Ammar is already collaborating with Sony on two international productions, Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, which is in cinemas, and The Equalizer 3, which is currently shooting in Italy.
