Cinépolis Mexico signs Vista Cloud Agreement
Vista Group International Limited (NZX & ASX:VGL) is pleased to announce that Cinépolis has signed an agreement to transition its Mexican circuit, its largest cinema circuit globally, to Vista Cloud Operational Excellence. This follows the successful transition of Cine Yelmo, Cinépolis’ Spanish circuit, to Vista Cloud’s Digital Enablement and Operational Excellence capabilities over the course of 2024 and 2025.
Cinépolis is the largest cinema exhibitor in Mexico with 504 sites (4,100+ screens), and globally in terms of ticket sales and attendance per auditorium.
As part of the six-year agreement, which includes all Vista Cloud capabilities, Cinépolis’ Mexican circuit is expected to transition to Operational Excellence over the course of 2026, with the commercials commencing from 1 January 2026.
“We couldn’t be prouder to have signed this agreement with Cinépolis – a giant in the cinema market globally. This demonstrates the market fit of our Operational Excellence capability for the largest and most innovative exhibitors globally,” said Vista Group CEO, Stuart Dickinson. “In 2023, we announced that Cinépolis had begun its cloud journey with its 51 site Spanish circuit, Cine Yelmo, signing to our Digital Enablement capability. The success of that migration and Cine Yelmo’s subsequent pilot of our Operational Excellence capability, demonstrated our execution and earned us the opportunity to take this significant next step with Cinépolis Mexico. Cinépolis continues to be an innovator and a strong partner for Vista Group globally, and we look forward to continuing to build on the strength of that partnership with this exciting project over the course of 2026.”
