U.K. production, sales and distribution outfit Signature Entertainment said Tuesday that it will be acquiring Latin American production and distribution company Particular Crowd, saying the “strategic acquisition aims to solidify Signature’s position as a key player in the global entertainment landscape.”

Financial details weren’t disclosed.

Created as an international original movie label of Warner Bros. Discovery, the L.A.- and Buenos Aires-based Particular Crowd banner “was spun out as an independent company to help it leverage its unique position and take advantage of opportunities across the global market, whilst maintaining a close relationship with Warner Bros. Discovery via a volume production deal,” the film development, production and co-financing company says about itself. “Its films are produced in English, Spanish or Portuguese and cover the popular genres of comedy, romantic comedy, horror, thriller, teen and family films.”

Particular Crowd’s recent successes include such releases as La Extorsión and Casi Muerta.

Production, sales and distribution banner Signature Entertainment is to acquire Latin American production and distribution outfit Particular Crowd.

Based in Los Angeles and Buenos Aires and originally set up as a label at Warner Bros. Discovery before being spun out as an independent company, Particular Crowd has achieved success in recent months with the releases of “La Extorsión” and “Casi Muerta.” Both films secured top positions at the box office for local titles and performed well on Max, where Particular Crowd’s movies are exclusively available locally under a volume deal the company has with Warner Bros. Discovery.

Upcoming Particular Crowd projects include Brazil’s “Evidências Do Amor,” which will be released theatrically this month by Warner Bros. and “Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires,” an original Warner Bros. Animation feature that places the DC superhero against the backdrop of Mexico’s history.
