Angel Studios presented its upcoming slate at the CinemaCon Wednesday morning session and celebrated its first year of theatrical distribution. In Angel Studios’ inaugural year as a theatrical distributor, the studio topped $300M in global box office revenue, largely thanks to the breakout success of Sound of Freedom ($184.1M domestic/$250.5M global) and Angel Studios’ innovative pay it forward concept. The success of His Only Son, Sound of Freedom, After Death, and The Shift landed Angel Studios the #8 spot on the list of top domestic distributors in 2023.
During the CinemaCon presentation, the studio unveiled the release dates, titles, and trailers for upcoming projects. “We are eternally grateful to our theatrical partners who helped champion our studio and enabled us to bring films that amplify light into movie theaters,” shared Brandon Purdie, the executive vice president and head of theatrical distribution. “There is no better place than CinemaCon to celebrate and give credit to our exhibition partners.” Jared Geesey, the chief distribution officer at Angel Studios, added, “We are excited about Angel’s upcoming slate of films for 2024 and 2025, and look forward to pushing audiences to fully immerse themselves in powerful stories at movie theaters.”
