Lionsgate has revealed record sales in Cannes, earning more than $250m on the slate of nine titles including The Hunger Games: Mockingjay 1 and 2, Step Up 5 and The Last Witch Hunter.

See below for sales round-up

The sales haul exceeded that of 2012 by more than 50% according to company sources and does not included anticipated revenue from territories where the company distributes directly like the UK, or through 50-50 partnerships like that with IDC in Latin America and its partnership with Universal in India.

“Our strong performance at Cannes this year is attributable in part to the international framework we’ve set in place combining output deals around the world with self-distribution in key territories such as the UK and Latin America,” said Lionsgate motion picture group co-chair Patrick Wachsberger.

“This infrastructure gives us enormous flexibility and is already delivering remarkable results.”
