What FILMBOX LTD does

FILMBOX LTD, operating under the legal entity Mediabox Broadcasting International Limited (UK private limited company, headquartered at 1 Cornhill, London), develops and operates thematic television channels and the FILMBOX+ Stream subscription streaming service. The company has been active in the media/broadcasting sector since 2009, with the current streaming product positioned as its consumer-facing flagship.

The core offering, FILMBOX+ Stream, is a multi-device video streaming platform delivering thousands of titles across series, movies, documentaries, and entertainment programs, supplemented by live TV channels and exclusive series content. The platform features thematic collections, parental controls, and is accessible via dedicated iOS and Android apps, a web frontend at play.filmboxplus.stream, and Smart TV applications. The service interface is localized into nine languages, targeting Central, Eastern, and Southeast European (Balkans) markets. Distribution is hybrid: alongside direct-to-consumer access, users reach the service through a network of partnered operators (telecom/IPTV platforms) flagged as a core commercial channel; subscription activation is supported via voucher codes on the owned platform.

Revenue is generated on a subscription-recurring basis. Pricing is not publicly disclosed on the company website, which is consistent with a model where end-user pricing is largely set or bundled by partnered operators rather than directly by FilmBox. No management team, headcount, funding history, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed in the available data.
