Quebecor and TVA Group announced last week the operations of TVA Films, previously part of TVA Group, are being centralized in a new business unit, Quebecor Films, effective Jan. 1.
“This strategic move will enhance Quebecor’s leadership in the Québec film distribution market by uniting all its expertise within a dedicated entity for the distribution of domestic and international films,” said a Quebecor announcement on Dec. 30.
The TVA Films brand will maintain a high profile within Quebecor Films Inc., Quebecor said.
“The new entity will carry on TVA Films’ work as a leading distributor in the Québec and Canadian markets on the strength of TVA Films’ talented team and rich catalogue, which includes several anticipated upcoming releases,” Quebecor’s announcement added.
“Building on the recent success of several titles in TVA Films’ catalogue, including Ma belle-mère est une sorcière, the second-highest grossing Québec film of 2025, and Nos Belles-Sœurs, the top-grossing Canadian film of 2024, Quebecor Films will be able to consolidate its efforts and maximize its film development, exploitation and distribution activities in this new environment,” said Luana Ann Church, Quebecor’s recently appointed vice president of development, acquisitions and distribution. “This new structure will also support our mission of showcasing Québec talent and bringing high-quality films, including many Québec titles, to audiences.”
Quebecor said in its announcement that this is “a related party transaction that complies with all applicable rules and requires no formal valuation or minority shareholder approval, as its fair market value and the associated consideration are deemed to be of limited materiality relative to the market capitalizations of both TVA Group and Quebecor.”
