Popular on Variety At last October’s Merci, Comscore reported that Adicine members had captured a 12% share of Spain’s theatrical box office through September 2025. Following the runaway success of “La Bola Negra” — now Spain’s fourth highest-grossing domestic film ever, with more than €29.9 million ($33.5 million) and counting — that share could reach 16%-20% by year-end, estimates Adicine co-president Enrique Costa, Elastica Films co-founder.

“‘La Bola Negra’ shows that independent distributors can handle major Spanish films with mainstream appeal and deliver exceptional results,” Costa says. Other recent successes range from Spanish films “Sundays” and “Sirât,” both distributed by BTeam Pictures, to international titles “Sentimental Value” and “Backrooms,” handled by Elastica.

Winning Over Exhibitors Merci 2026’s lineup features Gerardo Herrero’s buzzy war thriller “Carta Blanca,” from Karma Films; Javier Ruiz Caldera’s San Sebastián Fest comedy hit “5 More Minutes,” which has just closed a major sale handled in and ouside Spain by Filmax; and Florian Zeller’s “Bunker,” starring Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem, co-produced by MOD Producciones and distributed locally by Elastica. Among the international highlights are Cristian Mungiu’s Cannes Palme d’Or winner “Fjord,” from Caramel Films and Filmin, and Beth de Araújo’s Sundance prizewinner “Josephine,” starring Channing Tatum and Gemma Chan, handled by A Contracorriente Films.

Beyond showcasing their upcoming releases, distributors want to persuade exhibitors to give independent films the support they need in theaters.
