Wild Bunch AG officially changed its name in July 2015. This renaming occurred after the French entity Wild Bunch S.A. became a subsidiary of Senator Entertainment in February 2015.
Senator Film Verleih GmbH opened its doors in 1979 as a small German film distribution company. Former employees of StudioCanal later created the French parent entity Wild Bunch S.A. in 2002 to drive further expansion.
StudioCanal UK filed a lawsuit against Wild Bunch International over streaming rights for animated films in the United Kingdom market. The conflict centered on whether non-internet platforms existed as a separate category distinct from internet-based distribution.
Wild Bunch has managed more than 1700 titles including The Artist which won five Academy Awards in 2012 and The King's Speech which secured four Oscars in 2011. Other acclaimed works include Pan's Labyrinth from 2007 and Spirited Away which took home Best Animated Feature in 2003.
The company reorganized all international sales activities at the beginning of July 2019. This division later rebranded as Goodfellas in March 2023 following the expiration of a three-year pact allowing use of the original name.
