The channel mostly broadcasts American Hollywood movies but it also seldom features British, Canadian, French, Indian, Chinese and other foreign films. MBC 2 has managed to negotiate long-term deals with the top Hollywood studios, securing first-run right and ensuring a steady flow of the top box-office movies. The channel largely targets the Arabic audience, especially young adults, having an important popularity among Arab viewers.
On 1 July 2011, MBC 2 HD was launched.
