The Remake Co. Unveils 13th Adaptation of Hit Global Franchise ‘Ten Days Without Mom'
The Remake Co., the influential format and IP distribution label created in 2007 by Argentina's FilmSharks, has reached a new milestone in its global film adaptation efforts. The company has now broken its own previous record for the most remade title, with 'Ten Days Without Mom' becoming the most adapted film in its catalog, surpassing the long-held benchmark set by 'A Boyfriend for My Wife,' which had 12 international remakes.
With 13 versions either completed or in production, 'Ten Days Without Mom' continues to build momentum globally. Recent remake deals have been secured with major players including Nashe Kino in Russia, Athena in India, United King Films in Israel and Vertigo in Hungary. The wave of international interest underscores the film's broad appeal and the ongoing success of The Remake Co.'s model.

Sony has renewed its remake options for both Germany and Turkey, where projects are actively in development. Meanwhile, the Spanish sequel to 'Ten Days Without Mom,' 'Padre no hay más que uno 5,' is set for theatrical release on June 26, continuing its run as one of Spain's highest-grossing film franchises.
Other hits in The Remake Co.'s portfolio have shown similar global traction. 'Today We Fix the World' led Netflix's rankings across Latin America with its Mexican adaptation. 'Sin Filtro' has been remade in multiple countries, consistently topping box offices. 'Dos Más Dos' enjoyed streaming success, with its Colombian version dominating ViX+ charts.
The Remake Co. also oversees valuable content libraries, including the Disney-owned Patagonik catalogue and Brazil's Total Entertainment archive, home to box-office hit 'If I Were You' ('Si Eu Fosse Você').
With demand for high-concept, remake-friendly properties continuing to grow, The Remake Co. says it is actively pursuing new partnerships and catalogue expansions to meet industry demand. Recent acquisitions and projects in development include 'Morgue,' currently being adapted for Mexico by BH5 for a 2025 release, and a Spanish-language TV series adaptation of 'Nine Queens,' a deal reportedly close to finalization with a leading OTT platform.
Additional remakes are in various stages of negotiation: an English-language version of 'Letters to Father Jacob,' an Indonesian adaptation of 'Big Bad Wolves,' and a remake of 'The Others' in collaboration with Universal Pictures.
According to Guido Rud, founder of FilmSharks and The Remake Co., 'A box office film does not drive remake potential, it's driven by a high-concept plot that is refreshing, modern, marketable and simple to produce. The Remake Co. has gained its leadership because of its reputation as 'tastemakers,' as we have an eye for great scripts, which is why producers tend to come to us to find a remake project to do a local production. It's all about the script.'
As the global market for content localization continues to grow, The Remake Co. is poised to remain a central figure in driving international storytelling through smart, scalable adaptations.
