The title has been picked up by Well Go USA for the US and Canada, and It has also been acquired for Latin America by BF Distribution, for Middle East countries by Phars Filmco Motion Pictures, as well as for South Korea by Cinema Black and Italy by Minerva Pictures.

“'Row 19' is a spine-tingling new entry to the genre that will prove quite capable of keeping audiences around the world at the edge of their seats, and we’re thrilled to team up with Central Partnership to bring the film to horror fans throughout North America,” said Doris Pfardrescher, President and CEO of Well Go USA.
