International Sales generated €22.0 million during the fiscal year, representing approximately 70% of total annual revenue, compared to €17.4 million the previous year. These revenues mainly stem from deliveries to international distributors for Dracula (partially delivered as of March 31, 2025), and significant royalties from catalogue titles including Lucy, Colombiana, The Transporter, Taken 2 and Taken 3.
Theatrical Distribution revenue came to €0.2 million, corresponding to the release of Weekend in Taipei in French cinemas in September 2024, compared to €0.9 million in 2023/2024 (Dogman).
Video & VOD activity in France and the U.S. amounted to €1.2 million, in line with the 2023/2024 figure. This includes VOD sales in both countries across various titles (notably Miss Sloane in the U.S., and Dogman and Little White Lies 2in France).
Television & SVOD sales in France and the United States generated revenue of €5.2 million for the 2024/2025 fiscal year, accounting for 17% of total revenue, compared to €13.3 million in the previous fiscal year. Largely driven by the French market, these revenues stem from the opening of broadcast windows for several catalogue titles, including Little White Lies and Taxi 5 in France, as well as American Renegades and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets in the United States. However, they remain lower than the previous year, which had benefited from the release of rights for major franchises such as Taxi, Taken, The Transporter, and Arthur.
Revenue from Series amounted to €0.8 million for 2024/2025, compared to €0.1 million in 2023/2024. This revenue is primarily due to a U.S. SVOD sale.
Revenue from Other Activities totaled €2.2 million, compared to €2.4 million the previous year. This category includes income from ancillary rights (partnerships, licenses, music publishing, neighboring rights, etc.) and coproductions signed by the Group.
The Group has produced several films during the fiscal year, with releases scheduled in the coming months:
Written and directed by Luc Besson and starring Caleb Landry Jones, Christoph Waltz and Zoë Bleu, Dracula will be released in France on July 30, 2025.
The film reimagines the tragic love story of Prince Vladimir, Count of Drācul, and his wife, Princess Elisabeta. In the wake of a devastating loss, a 15th-century prince renounces God and is cursed to eternal life as Dracula. Now, the untold love story of the infamous vampire unfolds as he journeys across centuries, defying fate and mortality, in search of his lost love.
Produced by LBP in co-production with EuropaCorp and distributed in France by SND.

Also completed is Hell in Paradise, directed by Leïla Sy (Banlieusards 1 & 2, Yo Mama). This thriller features a strong heroine, played by Nora Arnezeder, and is aiming for theatrical release by the end of 2025. Inspired by true events, Hell in Paradise follows Nina, a young French woman who lands a coveted job as a receptionist at a luxury island resort far from home. She believes she has found paradise - until tragedy strikes, and her dream escape unravels into a waking nightmare. Co-produced with LBP and produced by Virginie Besson-Silla.
Post-production is nearing completion for Disorder, directed by Barthélémy Grossmann and produced by Luc Besson, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Dylan Sprayberry. Starring Sprayberry in the lead role, this intense thriller delves into the dark underbelly of institutional care, blending youthful rebellion with a harrowing fight for freedom.
Down the Arm of God, co-written by Peter Brunner and Caleb Landry Jones, is also wrapping up. Inspired by real stories, the film follows a young pastor (Landry Jones) through a harsh winter in a small Texas town, where his mission to help the homeless is faced with resistance by his congregation, exposing deep-seated prejudices and systemic failures.
