Nordisk Film Distribution Becomes First in the World to Implement Distributor Accord
Dublin / Copenhagen – 23 June 2026
Unique X, the global leader in digital cinema solutions, today announced that Nordisk Film Distribution (NFD), an integral part of the film industry in the Nordics with a history of investment and distribution in the region dating back to 1906, has become the first distributor in the world to implement Distributor Accord, the command centre for film distribution launched at CineEurope this week. NFD will run its theatrical sales across Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland on the platform, with a phased rollout through summer 2026.
Distributor Accord provides an intuitive platform to simplify and centralise theatrical distribution processes and operation. It manages release and booking agreements across multiple territories, integrates with box office aggregation platforms for seamless data flow, and calculates the film rental and invoices for exhibition automatically. Built as cloud-native software and hosted in the EU, it represents a highly anticipated upgrade from the legacy platforms available to date.
Eyvind Ljungquist, Executive Director, Content Services and Innovation Strategy at Unique X:
“We are delighted that Nordisk Film Distribution is the first to implement Distributor Accord. Nordisk Film Distribution have provided valuable input to the development of Distributor Accord which ensures NFD’s teams can focus on releasing films and growing the business instead of navigating cumbersome, legacy systems. We look forward to supporting them across the Nordics as the rollout progresses.”
Klaus Odegaard, Vice President (VP) for Acquisition, Marketing and Theatrical Distribution:
“Distributor Accord automates workflows, simplifies processes and enables cross-border collaboration. We were on the lookout for a system that removes complexity in an intuitive, user-friendly interface, and Unique X delivered. We are eager to be first to implement Distributor Accord and reap the benefits it’ll no doubt give us.”
