Getty Italy’s Cinecittà Studios are back in the black with a small but significant €1.1 million ($1.2 million) operating profit for the fiscal year of 2025, it was announced on Tuesday just as three big Hollywood shoots in various stages are decamped on its vast backlot.
Following a fiscal 2024 in which the studios — which are undergoing a major revamp — suffered some $12 million in losses, the famed facilities have bounced back. They have subsequently managed to lure Mel Gibson‘s “The Resurrection of the Christ,” now in final stages of physical production; Antoine Fuqua’s untitled Netflix movie starring Denzel Washington as Carthaginian general Hannibal, which will start rolling this summer; and, also from Netflix, the live-action “Assassin’s Creed” series directed by Johan Renck (“Chernobyl”) that has been in prep on the lot since July 2025. Filming on “Assassin’s Creed” started at Cinecittà in March and is expected to run for seven months through mid October.
