ESTO TAMBIEN PASARA S.L

What ESTO TAMBIEN PASARA S.L does

ESTO TAMBIEN PASARA S.L. (commercially "Esto También Pasará") is a privately-held Spanish audiovisual production company headquartered in Cádiz with operational offices in Madrid, organized as a single-member limited liability company (S.L.U.). Founded around 2020 and led by CEO and Executive Producer Álvaro Ariza, alongside General Director Jimmy Sola and a small core team of six, the company develops, produces, and co-finances theatrical feature films targeted primarily at the Spanish-speaking market. Its catalog spans 18+ theatrical films across family comedy (La Familia Benetón, La Navidad en sus manos, Padre no hay más que uno franchises), thrillers (La Infiltrada, Tierra de Nadie, Lobo Feroz), horror (El Hombre del Saco, La Casa del Caracol), and international productions (Ya No Quedan Junglas).

The commercial model is a project-based film financing and production engine, with revenue generated through three primary streams: theatrical box-office splits with Spanish distributors (Sony Pictures Entertainment Iberia, A Contracorriente Films, Filmax, Beta Fiction Spain), global streaming licensing (Netflix, Prime Video), and television broadcasting rights (RTVE, Canal Sur as co-producers). Productions are typically structured as co-productions within a recurring consortium of partners — Bowfinger International Pictures, Glow Animation, Atresmedia Cine, Film Factory, and Studio 33 — often supplemented by public-sector film funding from ICAA and Crea SGR financing guarantees. The company has no consumer-facing application, no proprietary technology platform, and is not exposed to AI/ML as a core capability; its competitive moat is grounded in creative talent, franchise IP, and access to tier-one distribution windows.

The go-to-market is theatrical-first windowing in Spain, followed by SVOD platforms and TV broadcast. Marketing is event-driven through film premieres (Málaga Film Festival), press coverage, and distribution-partner campaigns. Recent commercial performance has been exceptional — three films crossed the 1M viewer threshold in 2024-2025 and La Infiltrada won the Goya Award for Best Film in 2025 — with a 2026 pipeline that includes 'Haciendo Amigos', 'Leones en Invierno', 'La Familia Benetón +2', and 'Operación Hades'.

Broad incumbents

• El Deseo: Pedro Almodóvar's established Spanish production company producing high-prestige Spanish films with international distribution. Comparable as a Spanish theatrical production company, though focused on auteur/awards content rather than commercial family comedies.
• The Mediapro Studio: Large Spanish production and distribution group producing Spanish-language films, series, and international co-productions. Much larger and broader in scope than ETP but produces comparable commercial Spanish theatrical content.
• Telecinco Cinema: Film production division of Mediaset España (Telecinco). Produces commercial Spanish theatrical films and competes directly for theatrical audiences and broadcaster co-production deals, with greater financial backing from parent Mediaset.

Direct peers

• Bowfinger International Pictures: Spanish film production company and regular ETP co-production partner (La Infiltrada, La Familia Benetón, Tierra de Nadie). Comparable in scale and genre mix, focused on commercially viable Spanish-language theatrical films.
• Morena Films: Madrid-based Spanish production company producing commercial Spanish-language films across genres. Operates with similar GTM through Spanish distributors and streamers, and competes for the same theatrical windows and audience segments.
• Atresmedia Cine: Film production arm of Atresmedia, a major Spanish media group. Co-produces ETP's family comedy franchises and produces its own slate of commercially successful Spanish films with similar theatrical distribution strategies.

Emerging players

• Mod Producciones: Spanish production company producing commercial Spanish-language theatrical films. Comparable in size and genre focus, often co-producing with similar Spanish distributor and broadcaster partners.
• Lazona Films: Spanish production company producing a slate of theatrical films including genre titles. Comparable in targeting Spanish theatrical audiences, operating at a similar scale to ETP with a focus on commercial viability.
• Vaca Films: Independent Spanish production company producing commercially oriented genre films (El Bar, The Platform). Comparable in its focus on theatrical Spanish-language content but typically operating at a smaller scale and with more genre-specific positioning.
• Álamo Producciones: Spanish production company producing theatrical films and series in Spanish language. Comparable as a mid-sized Spanish production entity with a similar multi-genre slate and distribution approach.
