Gulf Film

Gulf Film is a film distributor which was established in 1989. It is focused on film distribution for major studios from around the world as well as independent English and Arabic films catering to audiences across the Middle East. Gulf Film is the distribution rights owner of more than 150 titles – that's almost half of the films distributed in the region. Gulf Film is by far the largest film distributor in the Middle East.

Gulf Film took a step forward in the year 2000 and expanded its portfolio by creating Grand Cinemas. Later on, in 2014 the chain of cinema was rebranded and re-inaugurated to become Novo Cinemas. Currently Novo Cinemas is the largest chain of theatres in the Middle East.

In January Gulf Films released Fox's Taken 3, which pulled in $10.3 million — the region's ninth largest box office intake ever – after star Liam Neeson attended the Middle East's first Hollywood-style fan premiere in Dubai.

Gulf Film is headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
