Disney+ will hold first window rights to all of Nordisk Film’s local theatrical releases in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland under a new pact between the companies, announced this afternoon.
The deal begins in 2026 and includes around 90 Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, and Finnish feature films. The first films to land on the service in the fall of 2026 include the Danish comedy Klassefesten 4, directed by Tilde Harkamp, starring Anders W Berthelsen, Nicolaj Kopernikus, and Troels Lyby, the Swedish comedy Grannfejden, directed by Ulf Malmros, starring Robert Gustafsson, Kjell Bergqvist, and Tova Novotny, and the Norwegian drama Drapet på Benjamin Hermansen, directed by Ingvild Søderlind and starring Laila Goody.
“We know that high-quality local content is a priority for our Disney+ customers, and expanding our strategic relationship with Nordisk Film and Egmont enables us to offer an unparalleled slate of upcoming Nordic blockbusters exclusively to them,” Hans van Rijn, SVP and Country Manager, The Walt Disney Company Nordic & Baltic, said in a statement today.
“For more than a century, Nordisk Film and the production partners they collaborate with have been frontrunners within filmmaking and creative excellence, and duly rewarded with stellar local and international recognition, including 12 Academy Award nominations and 2 Academy Award wins since 2000. Their slate for the coming years looks amazing, and we can’t wait to bring it to the Nordic audiences alongside live sports and the latest series and feature films from our own studios at no extra cost to a subscription.”
Kenneth Wiberg, SVP, Nordisk Film and CEO, Nordisk Film Distribution, added: “Our mission is to bring the best Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Finnish films to the widest audience possible in the Nordics. For that same reason, we are very excited about the future of this multi-year agreement with Disney+ and their strong commitment towards our upcoming local slate of films. Nordisk Film and our owner, Egmont, have a close and long-standing collaboration with The Walt Disney Company in several areas. This new agreement with Disney+ on our local slate of films only strengthens the relationship further.”
