1,000 Titles and Counting: Supporting the UK Film Industry Since 2016
Since we launched Ontime Media Logistics in 2016, our focus has remained the same: getting theatrical materials where they need to be, without the fuss.
Every campaign has its own set of challenges, but the goal is always the same: getting materials to the right place at the right time. It’s a process we’ve been refining since we started.
Recently, we reached a significant marker in our history: Ontime has now supported the launch of over 1,000 individual film titles and releases.
We recognise that our role is just one small part of a film’s journey to the screen, but we take enormous pride in supporting an industry we love.
By managing the order fulfilment and distribution requirements for each release—including international shipping where required—we make sure the physical materials are in place to successfully market the film in cinemas.
A Direct Link Between Print and Distribution
To further streamline the process for our partners, we work alongside a trusted print partner This allows us to offer an integrated service that bridges the gap between production and dispatch. By linking print directly with our logistics, we can manage the flow of materials more effectively, ensuring that posters and POS items move from the press to our warehouse and out to cinemas as one smooth operation.
Specialist Distribution for Major Studio and Independent Releases
Reaching the 1,000-title mark has given us the opportunity to work across the full breadth of the theatrical market. Our infrastructure is built to handle the highest-volume campaigns in the UK, and we have successfully managed the distribution for everything from massive franchises to niche artistic releases:
Wide-Scale Theatrical Campaigns: We’ve coordinated nationwide distribution for major titles like Barbie, Joker, and the Dune saga, alongside massive theatrical releases like Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and The Flash.
Franchise & Family Feature Logistics: Managing the long-term logistics for the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts worlds, as well as recent hits like Wonka, A Minecraft Movie, and Paddington in Peru.
The Rise of Event Cinema: Providing comprehensive logistics for global events and live theatre screenings. This includes coordinating the distribution for high-profile releases such as Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour and Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, as well as iconic broadcasts like Fleabag and Vanya.
The Art of the Independent: Delivering bespoke “pick and pack” solutions for award-winning world cinema and independent features. We are proud to have handled the materials for acclaimed titles including I Swear, The Zone of Interest, Anatomy of a Fall, The Quiet Girl, and the Academy Award-winning Parasite.
Stewardship of the Campaign
For every release in our portfolio, Ontime is entrusted with the materials that catch a cinemagoer’s eye. Based in our Buckinghamshire warehouse, we provide the secure, scalable storage needed to keep these campaign materials organised and protected until they are required for dispatch.
Whether it is coordinating hundreds of thousands of posters and flyers or the precision handling of large-format foyer standees, our goal remains the same: reliability.
Looking Ahead: Let’s Work Together
Our track record of supporting over 1,000 releases is a testament to the trust our partners place in us. As we move through 2026, we remain committed to providing the most reliable, scalable logistics solutions for the UK and global film industry.
