Immina Films is a Canadian film distribution company launched in 2022. [1]

The company was launched in 2022 by Patrick Roy, the former president of Les Films Séville, after the prior company was shut down in June by parent corporation Entertainment One. [2] The closure of Séville had caused concern as the company had been one of the largest distributors of films in the Quebec market, leaving a large number of recent and historical Quebec films without a distributor; [3] in November, Immina acquired Séville's back catalogue, as well as announcing Two Days Before Christmas (23 décembre) as its first new theatrical release.
