Which U.S. distributor released the 2006 film Quinceañera in theaters?

Sony Pictures Classics released the 2006 film Quinceañera in theaters in the United States.

Sony Pictures Classics is a specialty distributor associated with independent, foreign-language, and awards-oriented cinema. Its release of Quinceañera helped bring the Sundance-recognized film to a broader theatrical audience after its festival success.

The film was made as an independent American drama and was directed by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland. Its story follows Magdalena, a teenager in Echo Park, as she approaches the celebration traditionally associated with turning fifteen. The theatrical distributor is therefore different from the film’s production team and from the festival where it first gained major attention.

Distribution credits can be confused with production or sales-company credits. Sony Pictures Classics was the U.S. specialty distributor, while the film’s creative credits belong to its writers, directors, actors, and producers.
