History

Fandango Latam started as Cinepapaya in 2012, getting funding from 500 Startups and Telefonica‘s startup accelerator Wayra. [1] It participated also in the Start-Up Chile’s acceleration program.

In 2014, Cinepapaya received a $2M investment from Brazilian internet conglomerate Movile. [2] As of May 2015, Cinepapaya was transactional in Peru, Chile and Colombia, and served content in 17 countries in South America (as for May 2015), expecting to close 2015 with 20 countries, [3] and then venture into other emerging markets.

In December 2016, Fandango Media purchased Cinepapaya, for an undisclosed amount. [4] Fandango had previously acquired Cinepapaya's Brazilian competitor Ingresso in 2015, and merged the two entities to create Fandango Latam. [5] In March 2017, Fandango announced a new branding strategy for its Latin American assets, and definitely switched its name from Cinepapaya to Fandango Latam. [6] [7]

In October 2017, Fandango acquired MovieTickets.com and gained more market shares in Latin America. [8] In October 2018, Fandango Latam announced several multi-year deals with Cinépolis, Cinemark Theatres, National Amusements, and Cinemex, adding 5,000 new screens to Fandango s Latin American inventory. This deal turned Fandango into the largest online ticketer in Latin America. [5]
