“This was very special,” Mr. Cakarel said. “This would be our first global purchase. I was never sure anything.”
Below was a $ 12 million purchase for the global rights of the film, and a rare success story in the middle of the Doom-and-Gloom business in Hollywood. The “substance” has won more than 82 million dollars around the world and has been created for Best Photo and Best Director, and Andrea Moore is a favorite actor to win the best Academy Awards Academy Awards. And the Mubi has been catapulted, once a company lost four letter streaming of innocent services in a real Hollywood player.
The company has jumped with an unusual business model. Service subscribers, which start in $ 14.99, obtain a commissioner of independent selection of independent films, newly released from classics. To a higher level subscriber, they also obtain an introduction to $ 19.99 in $ Mubi, in the United States, Britain or German theater.

For Mr. Cakarel, a 48-year-old Entrepreneurship Engineering is a degree in Massachusetts Institute and Stanford’s MBA, which is a plan.
He founded the company in 2007. Netflix began streaming films and television shows in the same year – as a service for film lovers. The goal was to cure the experience of the theater film and high-level movies in his service. It was originally called Auteurs, service subscribers began to offer a new film on each film for 30 days. But Mr. Cakarel didn’t just want the movie. It was only interested in the best films of the most famous filmmakers.
“Mubi, 1. From the day, it’s always been a review of cinema,” he said.
It took years to buy one of the Hollywood studios to buy his idea.
“I’d go to a major studio, and I would say” I wanted to get the 32 titles, “said,” No, you’re not working on how these titles have to get these titles. ‘”
“They literally spit out of offices,” he added.
After 2015, Sony and Paramount agreed to give Mubi films to subscribers in Britain.

Mr. Cakarel took the main letter of the neon distributor and the rights around the world bought the “substance” before the Cannes debut. The film has reached the growing height, maybe thought Fargeat thought.
When Mrs. Mr. Mrs. won the Best Actor at the Actor’s Guild Award on Sunday, he thanked Mr. Cakarel. “I think it’s the reception of this film, other short films will be held,” Mr. Cakarel said.
