XLrator Media and Blue Fox Entertainment announced a distribution agreement to jointly distribute 15 films a year across all North American platforms, including a number of co-acquisitions. In addition, Blue Fox Entertainment will sell the international rights to these and other select XLrator Media films, starting at AFM this year.

The two companies began their relationship earlier this year when XLrator Media acquired the North American distribution rights from BFE to the international horror festival hit The Windmill (trailer below), which opens in theaters October 28th and debuts on VOD and iTunes October 25th.

The first film under the new XLrator Media-BFE distribution agreement will be the holiday-themed thriller Good Tidings, to be released on December 6th, followed in 2017 by the supernatural thrillers Dark Signal and A Demon Within. All of the films will be released on XLrator Media’s acclaimed “MACABRE” genre label.
