In early 2025, MCT collaborated with filmmaker Eli Roth to launch The Horror Section, a media company dedicated to creating a premier horror brand and building a valuable intellectual property library.
Notable upcoming projects include Roth’s Ice Cream Man, which was acquired by international buyers at Cannes and will be released widely in 2026, and Don’t Go in That House, Bitch!, which features Snoop Dogg as a producer, writer, and performer on the original soundtrack.
In August 2025, MCT launched Row K Entertainment, a U.S. theatrical distribution company designed to meet the modern distribution market’s demands.
