Organization of society

The group is divided into nine areas:

  • EuropaCorp Distribution: Marketing of cinema productions in France. With a view to optimal distribution, EuropaCorp has joined forces with 20th Century Fox and Pathé (FPE - Fox Pathé EuropaCorp) in a GIE (economic interest group, French partnership).
  • EuropaCorp Diffusion: Publication and distribution of videos in France
  • EuropaCorp Music Publishing: Filmmusikverlag

The company's initial public offering raised around 7,000 individual shareholders around 70 million euros. In May 2019, it became known that the company was insolvent, for which the high production costs of the film Valerian - The City of a Thousand Planets from 2017 are responsible.
