The Beginning of Music Box Films
Founded in 2007, Music Box Films has quickly established itself as one of the leading movie distributors of non-English language feature films in the US in theatres, on DVD/Blu-ray and via Video-on-Demand.
Music Box’s release of Guillaume Canet’s 'Tell No One' was the most popular foreign-language film of 2008 and in 2010, the film adaptations of Stieg Larsson’s trilogy of international mega sellers dominated the foreign-language film market. The first in the series, 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo', with over $10 million in US box office, was one of the most popular international releases of the decade.
