Abu Dhabi based production company Image Nation is celebrating after its latest co-production, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, passed the $100m mark in worldwide box office sales.
The film was financed and presented by the Participant Media/Imagenation Fund in association with Fox Searchlight, which is distributing the film worldwide.
It premiered in London in February this year, and has since travelled the world, including the UAE.
The milestone marks the third film in a row to pass $100m worldwide for the Participant/Image Nation partnership, following the success of Contagion and The Help, which grossed over $200m worldwide.
In addition, Ghost Rider - Spirit of Vengeance, produced by Image Nation and Hyde Park also recently grossed more than $130m.
The achievement has seen The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel secure its place in the top-ten grossing films for the past four weeks in the US, despite platforming with a limited screen count in comparison to other summer blockbusters.
Mohammed Al Mubarak, chairman of Image Nation, said: "The Image Nation team is thrilled to see The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel pass the $100m mark, and with the film expanding into more theatres this week the best is still to come.
"Through our international partnerships, Image Nation aims to make films that transcend borders and resonate with people regardless of age or culture," added Michael Garin, CEO of Image Nation.
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel follows a group of British retirees who decide to "outsource" their retirement to less expensive and seemingly exotic India.
