Global distributor and streaming platform Mubi has secured the Latin American rights to the Chilean box office sensation "Denominación de Origen." Directed by Tomás Alzamora, the documentary-comedy explores the cultural significance of the sausage industry in Chile. Following its successful theatrical run in 2025, where it drew over 100,000 admissions, the film is slated for a regional digital release on Mubi’s platform later this year.

This acquisition highlights Mubi’s ongoing commitment to championing regional cinema and bringing high-performing local content to a broader audience. By picking up a proven commercial success, Mubi reinforces its strategy of balancing niche arthouse fare with films that have already demonstrated strong resonance with local theatrical audiences. For director Tomás Alzamora, this deal marks a significant milestone in his career following his debut feature, "Little White Lie."

The deal underscores the growing appetite for Latin American stories that blend humor with cultural commentary. As streamers continue to compete for high-quality regional content, "Denominación de Origen" serves as a prime example of how local hits can successfully transition to global digital platforms, providing international viewers with a unique window into Chilean culture while expanding the reach of regional filmmakers.
