The timing is right for U.S. Latinos programming in Hollywood. Did you know that:
CAA and WME, Hollywood’s two biggest agencies, have assembled groups to devise a strategy for the Hispanic market. Universal and Warner Bros. have hired and promoted marketing executives dedicated to the same market while Pantelion, a joint venture of Lionsgate and Televisa, makes movies specifically for the Spanish-speaking market.
Instructions Not Included, written by, directed and starring Eugenio Derbez, grossed $44.5 million in the U.S., the highest draw ever for a Spanish-language film, plus $46.1 million in Mexico, an all time home-turf record for a Mexican film.
Two of Latin America’s biggest pay-TV operators – Brazil’s Globosat and Colombia’s Caracol TV – will launch a Spanish-language pay-TV channel in the US in 2015. Their new pay-TV channel will compete with Univision and NBCUniversal’s Telemundo, who have gained increasing control over this market by cherry-picking popular telenovelas and producing new Spanish-language shows for U.S. viewers.
