Cineverse Announces Matchpoint Hex™ - the Entertainment Industry's First System to Classify the Human Experience Power Next-Generation Search & Discovery, Content Programming and Contextual AdvertisingApril 20, 2026 9:35 AM
PR Newswire (US)
Hex Serves as an Advanced Intelligence Layer to Power the Entire Matchpoint Technology Platform including the Recently Acquired IndiCue, Leverage Proprietary Metadata, and Serve as the Foundation for an Expansive Framework for Agentic AILOS ANGELES and LAS VEGAS, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cineverse (Nasdaq: CNVS), an entertainment technology company and studio, today unveiled Matchpoint Hex™, a groundbreaking advanced intelligence layer for film and television that encapsulates the full Human Experience. Hex transforms how media content is classified, discovered and monetized. This was announced today at the NAB Show in Las Vegas.
Leveraging the company's extensive proprietary dataset Hex Origin™ (formerly known as cineCore), Hex sits above Cineverse's entire Matchpoint® digital supply chain platform. It combines the full portfolio of Cineverse Technology Group's product offerings – including the recently acquired IndiCue – to create a foundation upon which the company will build an expansive, unified agentic AI framework.Hex is poised to power the next generation of media discovery, automated content programming, and emotion & sentiment aware contextual advertising.It untaps these capabilities by establishing an advanced category of metadata for film and television that can be accessed via the Hex Origin MCP server.Using a proprietary taxonomy called the Human Experience Classification System (HECS), Hex organizes the full spectrum of human experience into a structured hierarchy of emotions, feelings, moods, and vibes -- encoding the emotional composition of movies and television into a highly structured, machine-readable format.This creates a unique computational language that establishes the critical foundation required for agentic AI.By transforming unstructured contextual metadata into a computable intelligence layer, Hex allows media platforms, streaming services and advertisers to understand content in terms of "how it feels" -- not simply what it is about."Initially developed as a key component of our award-winning Search & Discovery tool, cineSearch, this emotional intelligence layer is now being applied across all of our technology offerings," said Cineverse President of Technology & Chief Product Officer Tony Huidor. "Hex effectively unlocks entirely new agentic AI-based capabilities for the entertainment industry, including emotionally aware content discovery, contextual advertising alignment, AI-driven programming, and more. These advanced capabilities position Matchpoint several years ahead of our competitors."Matchpoint Hex – Unifies Matchpoint's Technologies for a Competitive AdvantageThis new technology will be integrated seamlessly across the entire Matchpoint® platform, Cineverse's cloud-native digital supply chain used by studios, streaming services, distributors and FAST channel operators. With Hex, Cineverse's entire technology portfolio – from Matchpoint Dispatch, Blueprint, Insights and IndiCue, to the C360 ad tech platform, to cineSearch and its underlying set of behavioral metadata – can now be unified on a foundational level through agent-to-agent communication (A2A). As the streaming ecosystem continues to expand, the ability to organize and understand massive content libraries has become one of the industry's most critical infrastructure challenges. Hex represents a significant competitive advantage for the Matchpoint platform. Because the system leverages a proprietary taxonomy, large-scale contextual metadata ingestion, classification pipelines and vector intelligence infrastructure, the resulting dataset unlocks increasing value as more titles are processed through the system.Over time, this creates a powerful data network effect that strengthens Matchpoint's role as a core infrastructure provider to studios, distributors and streaming platforms. By embedding this capability directly into the entire Matchpoint product suite, Cineverse positions itself at the center of the emerging AI-powered media infrastructure stack."Hex represents a generational leap in how film and television content can be understood by machines – and creates a highly defensible, proprietary technology moat. For decades, the entertainment industry has relied on inadequate legacy metadata systems which describe content by genre, cast or plot that can't provide insights into the emotional composition of film and television content. By structuring the full spectrum of human emotion into a computable framework, we're creating a powerful long-term advantage for Matchpoint," said Huidor. "As our proprietary emotional metadata graph grows, it becomes increasingly difficult to replicate. This positions Matchpoint with a clear lead not just as an automated media delivery platform, but as the core intelligence platform for Hollywood's rapidly evolving streaming era."For more information, please visit https://matchpoint.tv/hex.About Matchpoint®Matchpoint® is an award-winning, AI-powered, automated media supply chain that transforms how media and entertainment companies manage and deliver streaming video assets. It was developed to address the challenges facing studios and content owners due to rising costs, complexity, and scale, by replacing manual, labor-intensive workflows with an intelligent, end-to-end system that works across hundreds of global FAST, AVOD, SVOD and CTV platforms via the product suite – Dispatch (content onboarding and delivery), Blueprint (app building), and Insights (analytics) – which provides real-time control, transparency, scalability, and operational efficiency. With the recent additions of Giant Worldwide and IndiCue, Matchpoint uniquely combines automation, enterprise-level execution, and advertising technology – going beyond traditional infrastructure to provide enhanced monetization, real-time content optimization, and high-volume distribution.About Cineverse Technology GroupCineverse develops proprietary technology that powers the future of entertainment, leveraging the Company's position as a pioneer in the video streaming industry along with the industry-leading strength of its development team in India. This team has dedicated years building and refining technology solutions that have pioneered streaming content management and distribution while leaning into advances in AI to set the company apart from the competition. This includes the award-winning media supply chain platform Matchpoint®; the AI-powered search and discovery tool for film and television, cineSearch; Hex Origin™, a dataset of more than two million titles, including extensive proprietary AI-generated film and TV metadata; and the C360 programmatic audience network and ad-tech platform that provides brands the opportunity to target and reach key fandoms wherever they are.About Cineverse Cineverse (Nasdaq: CNVS) is an entertainment technology company and studio.

Cineverse to Acquire IndiCue in Deal Aimed at Expanding High-Margin Streaming InfrastructureFebruary 18, 2026 9:19 AM
IH Market News
Cineverse Corp. (NASDAQ:CNVS) has agreed to acquire ad-tech firm IndiCue, Inc. in a move the company says will significantly strengthen its streaming monetization infrastructure and accelerate its shift toward becoming a full-scale technology platform for digital content distribution.IndiCue, a profitable connected TV (CTV) advertising technology provider, will be integrated into Cineverse’s Matchpoint® platform, creating what the company describes as a unified system covering content preparation, distribution, monetization, analytics and real-time performance optimization across FAST, AVOD and broader ad-supported streaming environments.
Building a Closed-Loop Streaming System
With IndiCue’s technology, Cineverse moves beyond traditional content distribution and reporting into active revenue optimization. The combined platform will enable real-time adjustments to ad performance based on viewer behavior and market demand.“This represents a key leap forward for Cineverse, with IndiCue adding a strategically important monetization component that, when combined with our existing Matchpoint platform suite, gives us a near end-to-end technology platform whose high level of automation provides a significant competitive advantage by dramatically lowering costs while providing higher operational efficiency than any competitor out there,” said Chairman and CEO Chris McGurk.He added, “The acquisitions of IndiCue and Giant Worldwide have largely completed our strategy to build a comprehensive, scalable infrastructure solution for the entertainment industry, and transform our company, which – alongside our studio operations – is now in position to thrive, with a strong balance sheet and high-growth recurring revenue, margin and income profile. IndiCue strengthens the execution layer of our business, adding profitable, recurring monetization infrastructure that scales as volume and complexity increase across the streaming ecosystem.”
IndiCue’s Scale and Financial Profile
Founded in 2023, IndiCue provides an integrated CTV ad-tech stack, including ad serving, supply-side and demand-side platforms, and server-side ad insertion. The company currently has more than 40 live clients and another 75 publishers onboarding.IndiCue is projected to generate approximately $38 million in revenue and $9.6 million in EBITDA in calendar 2026, representing an EBITDA margin of about 25%. Cineverse expects the business to be immediately accretive.
Financial Outlook
Following the transaction, Cineverse projects:
Fiscal 2027 revenue of $115–$120 million, with technology platforms contributing more than half of total revenue
Adjusted EBITDA of $10–$20 million in Fiscal 2027
Approximately $38 million in annualized revenue contribution from IndiCue starting April 1, 2026
The company said IndiCue’s transaction-based revenue model provides scalable, recurring infrastructure income tied to CTV advertising volume rather than traditional software licensing.
Strategic Rationale
The acquisition is designed to complete Cineverse’s end-to-end platform strategy, unifying distribution, data and monetization within a single white-label solution. Management believes this will help streaming operators reduce vendor complexity and centralize accountability across content delivery and ad revenue operations.“For years, we’ve focused on building advanced, next-generation infrastructure designed to scale the highly complex task of digital video distribution,” said Erick Opeka, President and Chief Strategy Officer of Cineverse. “With IndiCue, Matchpoint becomes a closed loop: distribution, data, and monetization working together as a single system. This gives us a powerful feedback engine that allows us to understand performance in real time and act on it, improving results for our own content and for some of the largest media companies in the world.”Nicholas Frazee, CEO of IndiCue and now EVP of Revenue at Cineverse, said: “IndiCue was built to improve content monetization and allow programmatic advertising to perform far more efficiently in complex, fragmented environments. Joining Cineverse allows us to integrate our advanced monetization capabilities directly into an enterprise-grade platform that powers content distribution at significant scale. We are now in the unique position of controlling the entire content and ad pipeline from end-to-end. In addition, as an established ad platform and now first-party publisher, we can be nimble and leverage our complementary industry expertise to focus on building next-generation technology that will define the future of advertising.”
Transaction Details
The deal includes up to $40 million in total potential consideration, consisting of $22 million in base consideration and up to $18 million tied to performance milestones. Cineverse also raised $13 million in convertible notes to support the acquisition and working capital needs, with participation from existing long-term shareholders.IndiCue’s senior leadership team will join Cineverse under multi-year agreements, strengthening the company’s expertise in CTV advertising technology, distribution and monetization.

("Cineverse" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CNVS), a global streaming technology and entertainment company, today announced its financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended December 31, 2025 ("Q3 FY 2026"):
Acquisitions (Subsequent Events)Subsequent to quarter end, the Company completed two acquisitions expected to add approximately $53 million in annual Revenue and approximately $10 million in Adjusted EBITDA for Fiscal Year 2027 (April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027). Both transactions were completed at valuations the Company believes are favorable relative to the acquired businesses' growth profiles and are expected to be immediately accretive. Together, they accelerate Cineverse's positioning as an integrated, AI-powered platform for media distribution and monetization, while adding durable, recurring revenue streams to the business.Giant Worldwide AcquisitionSubsequent to quarter end, Cineverse purchased the assets of Giant Worldwide ("Giant"), a global media services provider serving the world's leading Hollywood studios and streaming platforms. Cineverse expects Giant to contribute Revenue of $15 to $17 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $3.5 to $4 million in fiscal year 2027. The majority of the Revenue is recurring in nature, derived from ongoing service relationships with major Hollywood studio and streaming platform clients. Within the first year, the Company anticipates approximately $2.5 million in additional annualized synergies through integration with Matchpoint™.IndiCue, Inc. AcquisitionSubsequent to quarter end, Cineverse acquired IndiCue, Inc. ("IndiCue") for $22 million in cash and shares of Cineverse common stock, subject to adjustments. Concurrent with the closing, the Company raised $13 million in convertible notes from existing long-term shareholders to support the transaction. IndiCue operates a proprietary white-label CTV monetization platform that enables publishers and streaming operators to manage, optimize, and grow their advertising revenue. Founded in 2023, IndiCue has scaled to more than 40 live clients — including IMAX, Freecast, and others — with 75 additional publishers in onboarding. IndiCue is expected to contribute approximately $38 million in revenue and approximately $7 million in Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2027, representing an 18% EBITDA margin. Revenue is transaction-driven, scaling with advertising volume across the CTV ecosystem. The acquisition integrates IndiCue's monetization technology directly into the Matchpoint™ platform, creating an end-to-end white-label solution unifying content delivery and ad monetization for studios and streaming operators.We are initiating financial guidance for Fiscal Year 2027 that includes the anticipated impact of the Giant and IndiCue transactions. Revenue is expected to be $115 to $120 million and Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $10 to $20 million(1).(1) The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA guidance due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying adjustments necessary to calculate such non-GAAP measure without unreasonable effort. Material changes to such adjustments, including warrant liability and non-core operating items, could affect future GAAP results.

They both also bring large, durable and scalable streams of recurring revenues to the Company and significantly strengthen our market position as an AI-powered comprehensive technology services and infrastructure solutions provider for the entertainment industry. We believe both acquisitions featured favorable valuations and deal structures and will be strongly accretive.""Already, we have seen extremely positive results from the Giant acquisition over the last 6 weeks, and IndiCue's month-over-month financial performance prior to acquisition was scaling up very rapidly. Therefore, we feel very confident in the financial guidance we are issuing for Fiscal Year 2027, which begins April 1, 2026, of $115 to $120 million in Revenue and $10 to $20 million in Adjusted EBITDA."Erick Opeka, Cineverse President and Chief Strategy Officer, stated: "Our focus continues to be on identifying and executing accretive acquisitions that deepen the competitive moat for Matchpoint™ and shifts the Company toward durable, recurring revenue streams. The Giant and IndiCue acquisitions do exactly that – together they connect distribution, data, and monetization into a single, unified solution, positioning Matchpoint™ as the only full-stack streaming distribution and monetization platform for studios and global digital platforms.""At the same time, we are continuing to improve margins and see meaningful growth in our recurring subscription business. We ended the quarter and the 2025 calendar year adding a net 45,000 streaming subscribers to our newest channel, Cineverse. We believe our low-cost theatrical model drives substantial brand awareness for this service, and we will continue to maintain cost discipline in that channel while completing our focus on SG&A reductions. We completed approximately $2 million of cost cuts subsequent to quarter end in January 2026, and expect to realize the vast majority of the remaining $5.5 million in cost reductions over the next two quarters. Combined with the anticipated stellar performance of our two new business units, we are confident in our guidance for the coming fiscal year."Conference CallCineverse will host a conference call at 4:30 p.m. EST/1:30 p.m. PST (Tuesday, February 17, 2026), during which management will discuss the results of its fiscal third quarter ended December 31, 2025.Call details are as follows:The conference call will be accessible online via the Cineverse Investor Relations website, https://investor.cineverse.com.You can also register in advance to access the live conference call at: Cineverse Corp Fiscal 2026 Third Quarter Earnings Call.An audio recording of the conference call will be available for replay shortly after its completion.

Adjusted EBITDA We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, merger and acquisition costs, restructuring, transition and acquisitions expense, net, goodwill impairment and certain other items.Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a financial metric to measure the financial performance of the business, because management believes it provides additional information with respect to the performance of its fundamental business activities. For this reason, we believe Adjusted EBITDA will also be useful to others, including our stockholders, as a valuable financial metric.We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplement to net income (loss) from continuing operations as an indicator of operating performance. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is useful both to management and investors when evaluating our performance and comparing our performance with that of our competitors. We also use Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, and to evaluate our financial performance because Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain incremental expenses or non-cash items, such as stock-based compensation charges, that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance.We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure and not a liquidity measure, and therefore a reconciliation between net income (loss) from operations and Adjusted EBITDA has been provided in the financial results. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) from operations as an indicator of performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of cash flows, in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of liquidity. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities as well as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows. We do not intend the presentation of these non-GAAP measures to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.Following is the reconciliation of our consolidated net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands):

Cineverse Acquires Profitable Connected TV Monetization Platform IndiCue in Transformational Deal, Expanding High-Margin Infrastructure that Powers Modern Content DistributionFebruary 13, 2026 9:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)
Establishes Clear Path to $115-$120 Million in Revenue and $10-$20 Million in Adjusted EBITDA in Fiscal Year 2027 Commencing April 1, 2026 (1)Accelerates Transition to Majority Technology Revenue Through Scalable, Recurring Infrastructure EconomicsTransaction Financed by Existing Long-Term ShareholdersLOS ANGELES, Feb. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cineverse Corp. (Nasdaq: CNVS) today announced the acquisition of IndiCue, Inc., a profitable advertising technology company, achieving a major milestone in Cineverse's evolution into a streaming infrastructure company -- building and operating the systems that power how content is distributed and monetized across the global video streaming ecosystem.
The acquisition integrates IndiCue's advertising and monetization capabilities directly into Cineverse's award-winning Matchpoint® platform, enabling Cineverse to operate a unified system spanning content preparation, distribution, monetization, reporting, and real-time performance optimization across FAST, AVOD, Connected TV (CTV), and all ad-supported streaming environments. With this integration, Cineverse moves beyond passive distribution and reporting by gaining the ability to actively improve how content generates advertising revenue in real-time, responding dynamically to viewer behavior and market demand. This deal, following the recently announced acquisition of Giant Worldwide by Cineverse, exemplifies the Company's continued strategic and disciplined approach to value creation for shareholders. It continues to focus on identifying companies with strong recurring revenue at attractive valuations, then enhancing their revenue potential by converting them to the modern era by implementing automation and system-level optimization that drive scale with software-like profit margins, while operating essential media and advertising infrastructure."This represents a key leap forward for Cineverse, with IndiCue adding a strategically important monetization component that, when combined with our existing Matchpoint platform suite, gives us a near end-to-end technology platform whose high level of automation provides a significant competitive advantage by dramatically lowering costs while providing higher operational efficiency than any competitor out there," said Cineverse Chairman and CEO Chris McGurk.He added, "The acquisitions of IndiCue and Giant Worldwide have largely completed our strategy to build a comprehensive, scalable infrastructure solution for the entertainment industry, and transform our company, which – alongside our studio operations – is now in position to thrive, with a strong balance sheet and high-growth recurring revenue, margin and income profile. IndiCue strengthens the execution layer of our business, adding profitable, recurring monetization infrastructure that scales as volume and complexity increase across the streaming ecosystem."IndiCue – CTV Monetization with 100+ Customers Live or OnboardingIndiCue is a proprietary connected television (CTV) monetization platform that provides streaming publishers and operators with the technology infrastructure to manage, optimize, and grow their advertising revenue across FAST, AVOD, and ad-supported streaming environments.The company operates an integrated ad technology stack that includes ad serving, supply-side platform (SSP), demand-side platform (DSP), and server-side ad insertion (SSAI) capabilities, all built on high-performance bare metal infrastructure designed for low operational costs, speed, reliability, and scale.Founded in 2023, IndiCue has rapidly scaled to more than 40 live clients, with 75 additional publishers currently being onboarded. IndiCue is expected to generate approximately $38 million in revenue and $9.6 million in EBITDA in calendar year 2026, representing a 25% EBITDA margin and immediate accretion at close, reflecting the operating leverage of transaction-driven CTV advertising infrastructure.(1)IndiCue's customer base includes major media companies such as IMAX, Freecast, Cannella Media, Loop Media, KTSF, and Dial Up Media, as well as many independent FAST and AVOD platforms and other streaming content distributors.Financial Impact and OutlookThe acquisition positions Cineverse for a materially improved financial profile, driven by scalable, recurring technology revenue and expanding operating leverage.Fiscal Year 2027 revenue is expected to reach $115-$120 million, with technology platforms representing more than 50% of total revenue. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to reach $10-$20 million in Fiscal Year 2027, reflecting the accretive nature of the transaction and continued margin expansion.(1) IndiCue is EBITDA-positive at close and is expected to contribute approximately $38 million of annualized revenue beginning in Fiscal Year 2027 (commencing April 1, 2026).IndiCue's revenue scales with advertising transaction volume across the CTV ecosystem, supporting durable, recurring infrastructure revenue rather than license-based software economics.Strategic RationaleThe addition of IndiCue into the Matchpoint ecosystem completes a critical component of Cineverse's platform strategy and vision. The combined companies now connect distribution, data, and monetization into a single, unified solution, allowing Cineverse and its streaming partners to respond dynamically to performance signals, optimize ad placement, and improve ad yield across the highly fragmented CTV landscape.The combined platform functions as an execution layer for streaming content distribution and advertising monetization, providing real-time analytics visibility and automated workflows that FAST channels, AVOD services, and independent streaming operators require to remain competitive in the rapidly evolving ad-supported streaming market.It also becomes the only independent, full-stack white-label solution unifying content delivery and ad monetization for studios and streaming operators. This positions Cineverse to effectively serve customers who want to reduce operational complexity by utilizing fewer vendors, reducing required integration points, and who demand a single accountable partner across both streaming operations and monetization.The Product and Engineering teams from Cineverse and IndiCue will leverage the expansive Matchpoint technology portfolio to jointly develop new ad tech products and advanced data capabilities designed to deliver advancements within the CTV advertising ecosystem that leverage the unique combined capabilities and expertise of the two company's technology teams.IndiCue's world-class monetization team will also directly support the revenue optimization of Cineverse's portfolio of owned and operated streaming platforms, creating immediate value while driving continued platform development."For years, we've focused on building advanced, next-generation infrastructure designed to scale the highly complex task of digital video distribution," said Erick Opeka, President and Chief Strategy Officer of Cineverse. "With IndiCue, Matchpoint becomes a closed loop: distribution, data, and monetization working together as a single system. This gives us a powerful feedback engine that allows us to understand performance in real time and act on it, improving results for our own content and for some of the largest media companies in the world."Transaction Financing and AlignmentThe acquisition was financed through a combination of cash, deferred consideration, and performance-based earnouts, with total potential consideration of up to $40.0 million, including $22.0 million in base consideration and up to $18.0 million tied to future performance milestones.Concurrent with closing and as previously disclosed, Cineverse raised $13 million in convertible notes to support the closing of transaction and working capital requirements. The note financing was driven by existing long-term Cineverse shareholders, reflecting strong conviction in the Company's strategy and long-term value creation opportunity.Integration and TeamIndiCue's founding team and senior leadership have joined Cineverse in newly appointed roles under multi-year employment and retention agreements. This includes Nicholas Frazee newly appointed as EVP of Revenue, Yuriy Gorokhov as EVP of Technology and John Marchesini as EVP of Product & Monetization. The combined organization brings together deep expertise across CTV advertising technology, distribution, data, and content operations."IndiCue was built to improve content monetization and allow programmatic advertising to perform far more efficiently in complex, fragmented environments," said Nicholas Frazee, Chief Executive Officer of IndiCue, and now EVP of Revenue for Cineverse. "Joining Cineverse allows us to integrate our advanced monetization capabilities directly into an enterprise-grade platform that powers content distribution at significant scale. We are now in the unique position of controlling the entire content and ad pipeline from end-to-end. In addition, as an established ad platform and now first-party publisher, we can be nimble and leverage our complementary industry expertise to focus on building next-generation technology that will define the future of advertising."About Cineverse Technology GroupCineverse develops proprietary technology that powers the future of entertainment, leveraging the Company's position as a pioneer in the video streaming industry along with the industry-leading strength of its development team in India. This team has dedicated years building and refining technology solutions that have pioneered streaming content management and distribution while leaning into advances in AI to set the company apart from the competition. This includes the award-winning media supply chain platform Matchpoint™; the AI-powered search and discovery tool for film and television, CINESEARCH, which makes deciding what to watch as entertaining as the entertainment itself; cineCore, a dataset of more than two million titles, including extensive proprietary AI-generated film and TV metadata; and the C360 programmatic audience network and ad-tech platform that provides brands the opportunity to target and reach key fandoms wherever they are.About CineverseCineverse (Nasdaq: CNVS) is an entertainment technology company and studio.

Cineverse and Air Bud Entertainment Announce the Theatrical Return of a Family Icon -- Air Bud ReturnsFebruary 3, 2026 9:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cineverse (Nasdaq: CNVS) and Air Bud Entertainment (ABE) announced that Air Bud Returns will be released theatrically nationwide on August 21, 2026. The announcement coincides with National Golden Retriever Day, an appropriately timed moment to welcome back the world-renowned, basketball-playing Golden Retriever, Buddy.
Air Bud Returns is not a sequel; it's a theatrical relaunch of the multigenerational, global franchise that became the gold standard for family movies with nostalgia, heart, humor, and action.The film stars Tracy Ifeachor (The Pitt, The Originals, Doctor Who: The End of Time, Wonka) as Jasmine, Edwin Lee Gibson (The Bear) as Jack, Tyler Labine (Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, New Amsterdam) as Walter, and Aydin Artis as Jacob. It is written and directed by franchise creator Robert Vince and produced by Anna McRoberts.The story returns to Fernfield, "where anything is possible," the original hometown where Buddy's legend began."Air Bud has, for nearly three decades, stood for heartwarming family values, reminding us to 'play from the heart' and 'when given the opportunity, to always take the shot,'" said Vince. "Air Bud Returns honors that legacy while introducing the next generation to Buddy on the big screen. And yes, there still… 'Ain't no rule says a dog can't play basketball.'"Cineverse Chief Motion Pictures Officer Yolanda Macias added, "Watching Air Bud Returns come together has been a memorable experience, and we can't wait for families to enjoy watching Buddy on the big screen again for the first time. The team, including our canine and human cast, have worked incredibly hard to bring Robert's vision to life, and I can think of no better way to celebrate National Golden Retriever Day — yes, it's a thing! — than announcing its release date."In Air Bud Returns, 13-year-old Jacob dreams of becoming a basketball star like his dad. After his father's passing, that dream feels further away than ever. When Jacob and his mother move into his dad's childhood home in Fernfield, Jacob discovers an old VHS tape marked "Air Bud." He discovers his father played on the Timberwolves team alongside the legendary, basketball-playing golden retriever, Buddy. When Jacob meets a stray golden retriever, he later names Buddy, they form a bond that leads them on a journey to unite a team of misfits, qualify for the Christmas tournament, and chase a championship. They rediscover that belief in his family legacy, learn to play from the heart, and always take the shot.About Cineverse Motion Pictures Group
