MUMBAI: After a deal inked with Warner Bros., United International Pictures (UIP) will distribute films of the production company in Central America beginning next year.

Current general manager of Warner Bros. Pictures in Central America, Miguel Joseph, has been tapped to head up UIP Central America from January. He will replace industry veteran Jose Victoria.

UIP reached a similar agreement last year to handle Warner Bros. titles in Mexico, Latin America‘s top market in terms of box-office revenue.
