The story
Founded by Samuel Hadida and Victor Hadida in 1978.1
Among its subsidiaries, Seven Sept distributes video media to video stores and newsagents, as well as through traditional channels and online sales of DVDs and Blu-rays, and HK Video (specializing in Asian cinema).
In the video-on-demand market, Metropolitan Filmexport primarily controls the UniversCiné service as well as its own "Cinema(s) on Demand" platform, available on major Internet service providers' boxes and accessible directly online.
The company distributes, both in theaters and on video, films produced by Dino De Laurentiis Company, Turner Entertainment Co., Hammer Films, Lionsgate, and New Line Cinema (until the latter's full takeover by Warner Bros.).
Renowned for its catalog of action, fantasy and thriller films, the French company also co-produces or distributes films aimed at a less popular target audience, sometimes rewarded by critics or prizes, such as Border, Un Certain Regard prize at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, or Green Book, awarded three Oscars including Best Picture in 2019.
