Personal details
- Professions: Producer, Writer, Executive
United King Films is basically a powerhouse in the Israeli entertainment world. Started by Moshe and the late Leon Edery, these guys didn’t just dip their toes into film distribution—they went all in, dominating everything from local movie releases to music, TV, and even kids’ productions. They’ve got their hands in just about every cookie jar: Cinema City megaplexes (huge, flashy, basically the place to be for a night out), the biggest catalog of Israeli and indie foreign films, and music through NMC, which also happens to be the biggest DVD distributor in the country. Yeah, DVDs are still a thing there. They’ve even snagged exclusive rights with some major American studios. The company keeps growing, scooping up stuff like TelAd (TV channels galore, including MGM and History Channel), Solan Communication (big on stage stuff like Festigal), and plenty more. Cinema City alone is wild—it’s not just a movie theater, it’s an entire experience, with luxury screens and all sorts of fancy extras, scattered across the country. Since it opened in 2002, it’s pretty much ruled the Israeli box office, pulling in almost half of all moviegoers. United King isn’t just about bringing in blockbusters either. Their catalog is stacked—think Oscar winners and festival favorites from the likes of Scorsese, Spielberg, and Polanski. On top of that, they’re the main backers of Israeli films, churning out about 15 new titles a year and constantly on the hunt for fresh talent. If it’s entertainment in Israel, odds are United King’s involved.
Brother of Leon Edery, that’s one of those little details you might overlook unless you’re really obsessed with film credits and behind-the-scenes stuff. If you ever dove into the Mexican movie scene, you’d probably see the Edery name pop up more than once. They’ve both been tangled up in a bunch of production gigs, and honestly, it's kind of wild how often siblings end up in the same business, right? You start noticing—one brother's the producer, the other’s backing the same films or working on similar projects. It's a classic family hustle. Anyway, when you see Leon Edery attached to something, his brother’s probably lurking somewhere in the background, making deals or pulling strings. The whole vibe just screams tight-knit film family, passing secrets back and forth, probably arguing over which script is actually worth it at Sunday dinner. Total power move for a family in the movie biz.
