Morelia, Mexico – Cinepolis CEO Alejandro Ramirez, who presides over the second largest exhibition circuit in the world in terms of admissions, declined to comment on the ongoing controversy swirling around Saudi Arabia and its embattled Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, also known as Mbs. The Crown Prince has been tainted by the disappearance and alleged murder of Saudi-born Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi in early October. As a consequence, some 40 participants pulled out of an Investment Conference hosted by Saudi Arabia (held Oct. 23-25) in the wake of the scandal.
Cinepolis unveiled plans in April to open cinemas in the ultra-conservative kingdom not long after Mbs lifted the 35-year ban on cinemas in a bid to modernize the country. The Morelia-based exhibitor entered into partnership with Saudi Arabian entertainment and hospitality operator Al-Hokair Group and Dubai-based luxury and lifestyle retailer Al Tayer Group to build a theatre circuit over the next five years.

Mexican exhibition giant Cinepolis is venturing into production with Manolo Caro’s Latino remake of Italian hit comedy “Perfect Strangers.” Now ranking second in the world in terms of admissions, this move marks the exhibitor’s first foray into feature film production.
Spain’s Alex de la Iglesia made a Spanish version of the dark comedy last year, which did gangbusters at the local box office, earning $25.8 million, and will make its L.A. debut at the revived Los Angeles Latino Int’l Film Festival in June.
“Perfect Strangers” revolves around a circle of friends who decide to lay bare all their secrets at a dinner, placing their smartphones and their respective contents on the table for all to see. What starts as an innocent game takes an unexpected, disastrous turn.
