MIAMI — In a big, bold affirmation of the value of movies in a new TV world, WarnerMedia’s Turner Latin America, one of Latin America’s biggest pay TV operators, is launching Particular Crowd…

, a film production-acquisition company with a 90 English-language movie slate for 2020.

First Particular Crowd originals include “Possessor,” a sci-fi horror film directed by Brandon Cronenberg and starring Christopher Abbott, Andrea Riseborough, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tuppence Middleton and Sean Bean. Produced by Rhombus Media and Rook Films, it world premieres Jan. 25 at the Sundance Film Festival.

Particular Crowd’s focus on mainstream genres of horror, thriller, comedy, romantic comedy, teen, and family, “is not only because we see them as high performance but also because we know they’re genre categories that are going to travel, irrespective of what language the local audience speaks,” Bevan added.

As international audiences for foreign-language series grow, especially in Spanish, Turner Latin America’s drive into English-language films might not seem the most obvious strategy to grow in the future. But there is larger picture.
