Vista Group International Ltd (ASX:VGL) has signed a six-year agreement with Cinépolis to transition its Mexican cinema circuit to Vista Cloud Operational Excellence.
The agreement covers Cinépolis’ largest global circuit, comprising 504 sites and more than 4,100 screens across Mexico. Commercial terms begin from January 1, 2026, with the transition expected to take place during 2026.
The deal follows the successful migration of Cinépolis’ Cine Yelmo circuit in Spain to Vista Cloud’s Digital Enablement and Operational Excellence capabilities across 2024 and 2025.
For Vista, the Mexican agreement represents a significant expansion of its cloud platform within one of the world’s largest cinema exhibitors by ticket sales and attendance per auditorium.
Cineworld UK signs Digital Enablement deal
Vista has also secured an agreement with existing client Regal Cineworld Group to transition 88 Cineworld sites and more than 950 screens in the UK to Vista Cloud’s Digital Enablement capability.
The rollout is expected during 2026 and follows the successful transition of 25 Picturehouse Cinemas sites to Digital Enablement during 2025.
“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.
“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,” Vista Group CEO, Stuart Dickinson, said.
Strengthens cloud adoption among major exhibitors
Regal Cineworld Group operates more than 400 Regal sites in the US, 88 Cineworld sites and 25 Picturehouse sites in the UK, and 115 sites across Eastern Europe and Israel.
“Regal Cineworld Group is a global leader in the enterprise cinema market, and we are delighted to continue to build on our strong relationship with their team by bringing the Cineworld circuit across the United Kingdom on to our market leading Digital Enablement capability. It is a testament to the strength of Vista Cloud that we are in a position to take this next step with Regal Cineworld Group following the successful roll out of their Picturehouse Cinemas circuit during 2025,” Dickinson said.
The two agreements further embed Vista Cloud across major international cinema circuits and support Vista’s strategy of migrating large-scale exhibitor customers to its cloud-based platform.
