98% of Allociné was purchased by FIMALAC,[3] a French holding company owned by Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière, for 66.9 million euros.
[4][5] In January 2015, Allociné, along with SensCritique, Première, and Télérama, was one of four platforms selected by the CNC as partners for the launch of its VOD offer search engine.
In 2001, after ten years as CEO, Jean-David Blanc sold Allociné to Vivendi-Universal, which integrated it into Canal Numédia, the web subsidiary of Canal+.
That same year, Allociné Vision was created, providing users with access to cinema-related programs, later evolving into Kiosque Ciné.
In 2005, Allociné expanded its information portal to include content on television series and launched a service in the United Kingdom at allocine.co.uk.
It represented the development of a company in a "sector easy to dematerialize," such as cinema ticket sales, and the implementation of related multimedia strategies.
In 2007, Allociné's website underwent a significant change in media broadcasting, moving from outdated Microsoft Windows Media/Real formats to Flash Video (Adobe), similar to YouTube and Dailymotion, including an improved user interface.
Allociné was sold to Tiger Global, an American investment fund that acquired a majority stake in the company for an undisclosed amount.
In 2009, Allociné acquired a 34% stake in the cinema advertising agency Talent Group and purchased the German website filmstarts.de.
