According to the newly released Latino Donor Collaborative U.S. Latinos in Media Report, when Latinos are leads or co-leads in a film, the content succeeds at a higher rate. That’s pretty significant, especially when those movies are among the top domestic grossing films in 2023. The commitment to and recognition that Latinos are the most reliable and powerful investors in the theatrical movie business, is good business. Period. For us at H+M Communications, we know the power of Latinos in driving box office receipts generally – and the strong support they show to films with diverse filmmakers and cast members. We’re proud to see more and more Latinos assume more and more roles in front and behind the camera – and we’re beyond thrilled to be the theatrical PR and marketing agency trusted with driving Latino audiences for the top three (Barbie, The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse) highest domestic grossing films; five of the top 8 (+ Avatar: The Way of Water and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania); and 10 of the year’s top 20 grossers (+ Indiana Jones & The Dial of Destiny, Elemental, Fast X, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, and The Flash). So far, it’s been a blockbuster year for our community, the industry, and our agency, and we can’t wait to continue to bring new films to new audiences in new and different ways – and help drive value and engagement for our extremely valued studio partners and the people who enjoy each film!

Another one for the record books! 🎉 Congratulations to our client partners at The Walt Disney Company and thank you to everyone that helped make Deadpool & Wolverine one of the biggest domestic film openings ever and the biggest for an R-rated film - now standing at a whopping $211MM. We're proud to have done our part as the studio's Hispanic publicity and field marketing agency to not only create widespread awareness for the film among Latinx audiences but to help convert that interest into ticket sales. And, turn out, we did - in fact, while Hispanics are only 18 percent of the population, 35% of the box office was attributable to Hispanics. This underscores once again what we've known all along but is becoming harder for the rest of the world to ignore: Latinx and Hispanic moviegoers are the undisputed, single greatest and most reliable investors in the in-theater cinematic experience; they've certainly been this summer! Stick to outdated assumptions and check a box to reach them at your peril. #DeliveringTheUnexpected #Client #DeadpoolAndWolverine

🎉 We are jumping for JOY with Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out 2’s record breaking opening weekend! 🎉 Congratulations to our client partners Disney/Pixar and to our extraordinarily strategic, creative and unrelenting team of dedicated publicists and integrated marketers at H+M on Inside Out 2’s massive, record breaking $155 million domestic opening opening weekend; and it did so on the strength of an eye-popping 42% turnout by Latinos whose robust walk up, same day ticket purchases made it the first film in the last 18 months - other than Barbie - to crack $100 million during its opening weekend. Oh, and the buzz and love have no boundaries as it’s already at $300 million globally for the year’s biggest by a long shot. We are so proud and thankful for everyone that helped make this campaign one for the record books - reminding us once again that Latinos remain the most reliable investors in the in-theater cinematic experience in the US. Want to know how we did it? Hit us up. #DeliveringTheUnexpected #InsideOut2 #Client 🎬

🎉 Sony’s "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" for the Win! Congratulations to our client partner Sony Pictures and our team at H+M on the industry-defying $56 million opening of ‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die’, starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence in their iconic roles as Miami’s finest - Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett. We knew it wouldn’t be easy but we believed in the film, the power of multicultural moviegoers, and delivered a robust integrated campaign that strategically combined national media appearances, press days and specialty interviews, an opening day fan and community celebration in South Florida in partnership with the City of Miami-Dade County and representatives from the NFL, NBA, and MLB, dozens of celebrity and fan endorsements, and partnerships with hundreds of Hispanic content creators and influencers that not only generated high-impact buzz and widespread awareness but ultimately drove millions of fans to theaters. And they turned out in droves. In fact, Hispanic and Black audiences accounted for a whopping 70% of box office receipts with Hispanics contributing 26% of ticket sales - a 44% increase from 2020’s ‘Bad Boys for Life’. A huge thanks to everyone that rallied to make this campaign a huge success and one we will remember for a lifetime. #DeliveringTheUnexpected 🎬 #BadBoys #Client
