Vision Distribution is an Italian film distribution company. [1] Sky Italia holds a majority stake. [2] It is based in Rome. [3]

History

Vision Distribution was formed in 2016 as a joint venture between Sky Italia and production companies Cattleya (ITV Studios), Wildside  [ it ] (Fremantle), Lucisano Media Group  [ it ], Palomar and Indiana Production. [4] [2] Vision Distribution reached an agreement with Universal Pictures to handle the Italian physical distribution of their films. [4] At the 2020 Berlinale's European Film Market, the company launched an international sales subsidiary, Vision Distribution International. [5]

In 2023, Vision co-produced and distributed Paola Cortellesi's There's Still Tomorrow (C'è ancora domani), [6] a black-and-white feminist comedy-drama. It was the most successful film at the Italian box office in 2023, [7] [8] [9] [10] and nominally the 10th highest-grossing film in the country's history. [11]

In December 2023, The Hollywood Reporter Roma reported that Vision Distribution had become one of the top distributors in the country, rivaling RAI's 01 Distribution and Mediaset's Medusa Film. [1]
