Angel and Wonder Project Partner With the U.S. Department of State to Screen ‘Young Washington’ at U.S. Embassies Worldwide as America Celebrates Its 250th AnniversaryJune 23, 2026 10:15 AM
Business Wire In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Angel, a media and technology company successfully pioneering a first-of-its-kind audience-driven studio model, and Wonder Project, an independent studio, distribution platform and trusted brand, today announced a strategic partnership with the U.S. Department of State to screen the upcoming film Young Washington at U.S. embassies around the world, as part of a new global screening initiative. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260623725809/en/Courtesy of Angel. Directed by Jon Erwin and starring William Franklyn-Miller, Golden Globe winners Kelsey Grammer and Mary-Louise Parker, and Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley, Young Washington tells the story of a young man whose courage, conviction, and character helped shape the course of a nation. Rooted in American history, it is a story about integrity, resilience, and service – values that resonate across cultures and generations. Young Washington is slated for a nationwide theatrical release on July 3, 2026, to coincide with America’s 250th anniversary. The U.S. Department of State regularly collaborates with the entertainment industry to share American stories, traditions, and the values that define the nation. Through curated international screenings of classic and contemporary films, the Department showcases the creative excellence of the American film industry and the technical artistry that contributes to the global influence of American cinema. “As America prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, Young Washington takes us back when the leaders we now admire were still discovering who they would become,” said Neal Harmon, Co-Founder and CEO of Angel. “It’s a deeply human story about growth, sacrifice, humility, and leadership earned through adversity and preserved by divine providence. We believe audiences around the world will connect with those themes, and we are honored to partner with the U.S. Department of State.” Cate Dillon, Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs said, “The Department of State is proud to partner with Angel and Wonder Project in support of the global release of Young Washington—a uniquely American story that reminds the world that the ideals behind this nation were forged by real people of courage, character, and conviction. American storytelling remains a vital element of diplomacy, and this film reflects a long tradition of creative works that engage global audiences and highlight the nation’s history and values.” “At Wonder Project, we believe great stories have the power to shape how people see themselves and the world around them,” said Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten, CEO of Wonder Project. “What drew us to Young Washington was the opportunity to explore a chapter of American history through the eyes of a young man whose future was far from certain. Rather than asking audiences to admire a historical figure from a distance, the film invites them to walk alongside him. That's the kind of story we hope stays with audiences long after the credits roll.” “One of the privileges of playing Thomas Fairfax was portraying a mentor who recognized potential in a young George Washington long before the world knew his name,” said Kelsey Grammer, who plays Lord Fairfax in Young Washington. “In this film, we see what Fairfax saw – a young man wrestling with responsibility, ambition, failure, and purpose. That humanity is what makes his eventual greatness so inspiring. As this film travels to embassies around the world on the eve of America’s 250th anniversary, I hope audiences are reminded that freedom is not just an inheritance, but a responsibility to be carried forward by every generation.” The U.S. embassy screening series engages audiences, including students, emerging filmmakers, government counterparts, cultural leaders, and the broader public. U.S. embassies anticipated to participate in the Young Washington Freedom 250 screening include: Argentina, Armenia, Austria, Bahrain, Belize, Bolivia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Brazil, Cambodia, Cameroon, Canada, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Egypt, El Salvador, Finland, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Honduras, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kyrgyz Republic, Latvia, Malaysia, Maldives, Malta, Mexico, Micronesia, Morocco, Nepal, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, North Macedonia, Pakistan, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Qatar, Romania, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka, Suriname, Sweden, Tanzania, Thailand, Türkiye, Turkmenistan, Uganda, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Uzbekistan, Vietnam, and Zambia About Angel Angel (NYSE: ANGX) is a media and technology company successfully pioneering a first-of-its-kind audience-driven studio model. Founded by brothers who struggled to find films they could watch with their children, Angel was built on the belief that there was a global audience hungry for values-driven storytelling that amplifies light, celebrates hope, and inspires the moral imagination of viewers. That audience became the Angel Guild, a rapidly growing community of nearly 2.5 million paying members who watch, screen, and vote on which films and television series get produced and distributed in theaters and on the Angel app. Angel has achieved the highest audience satisfaction scores in the industry1 and the highest average domestic box office per title among all independent studios since 2023. It has done so while evolving a new economic model that shares profits more fully with filmmakers. For more information, visit www.angel.com.

Simmons), Runner (starring Owen Wilson and Alan Ritchson), Angel And The Badman (starring Academy Award winner Tommy Lee Jones, Zachary Levi, and Neal McDonough), Drummer Boy, Hershey, and Zero A.D.

Message from our CEO:
“The Angel Guild continued to expand, growing 11 percent while the company had a more efficient theatrical marketing spend. The scale and momentum of the Guild create a powerful flywheel,” said Neal Harmon, co-founder and CEO, Angel. “As premium filmmakers and high-demand genres strengthen the Angel library, the Guild grows faster, expanding the royalty pool and making Angel even more compelling to filmmakers. Each new genre unlocks audience segments, expands our addressable market, lowers customer acquisition costs, and deepens engagement.”
Message from our CFO:
“Recurring revenue from the Angel Guild is the engine of our business,” said Scott Klossner, CFO, Angel. “We delivered record topline revenue, greater marketing efficiency, improved gross margin, and positive Adjusted EBITDA this quarter. Our growth is powered by Angel’s innovative audience-centric model and aligning filmmakers directly with audience demand through shared upside.”
First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Total revenue was $115.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $47.4 million in the first quarter of 2025.

Angel Guild membership grew from 1.08 million in Q1 2025 to 2.22 million members in Q1 2026.
Gross profit was $71.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $28.0 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing a 154% year-over-year increase. Gross margin expanded to approximately 62% from 59% in the prior-year period, reflecting revenue growth that outpaced the increase in cost of revenues.

"Adjusted EBITDA" is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as earnings before Interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock compensation expense, and the gain/loss on digital assets, as well as exceptional items.

Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net loss or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated due to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to: the Company's ability to grow and retain its Angel Guild membership base; the performance of the Company's theatrical and streaming content releases, including audience reception and box office results; competitive pressures from other streaming platforms, studios, and entertainment alternatives; adverse macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, changes in consumer spending, or capital market disruptions that could affect the Company's access to financing or its operating costs; and other risks described from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Simmons; Angel and the Badman, Starring Tommy Lee Jones and Zachary Levi; Hershey, Starring Finn Wittrock and Alexandra Daddario; and Drummer BoyStudio Debuts Trailer for Historical War Epic Young Washington, Starring Kelsey Grammer, Mary-Louise Parker, Ben Kingsley, and Introducing William Franklyn-Miller as George WashingtonPROVO, Utah and LAS VEGAS, April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Angel (NYSE: ANGX), a media and technology company successfully pioneering a first-of-its-kind audience-driven studio model, today announced five new theatrical releases to the company's robust 2026 slate. Angel intends to release 10 films in theaters this year alone, supporting exhibition partners and audiences worldwide searching for storytelling that amplifies light, celebrates hope, and inspires the moral imagination of viewers.
From an action-packed thriller starring Owen Wilson and Alan Ritchson to a gripping Cold War drama starring Jeff Daniels as President Ronald Reagan and Academy Award winner J.K. Simmons as Secretary of State George Shultz, to a reimagining of the John Wayne classic Angel and the Badman starring Academy Award winner Tommy Lee Jones, Angel's slate spans genres while consistently entertaining audiences with uplifting, values-driven stories."CinemaCon marks an important moment for us to show where Angel is headed," said Brandon Purdie, executive vice president and head of theatrical, Angel. "Our 2026 slate is a celebration of what makes moviegoing matter – cinematic stories designed to be experienced together on the big screen, and it reflects our belief that the power of cinema lies in bringing people together for unforgettable, shared experiences.""This slate demonstrates that with engaging subjects, established stars, and engrossing storytelling, Angel has gone from aspiring to achieving," said Neal Harmon, co-founder and CEO, Angel. "This marks an exciting step forward in our mission to launch projects created with our audience, not just for them. All of this made possible and kept authentic by the passion and power of our more than 2.2 million Angel Guild members."Angel has achieved several recent theatrical milestones, including the highest-grossing faith-based animated theatrical opening of all time with DAVID and two of the top ten highest-grossing animated domestic theatrical releases of 2025 (DAVID and The King of Kings).1 Solo Mio, the company's romantic comedy starring Kevin James and released in theaters earlier this year, became one of the highest audience-rated romantic comedies of all time. Meanwhile, the studio achieved the highest average domestic box office per title of all independent distributors from 2023 to 2025. And along with Angel's box office success, the company's films boast an average Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score of 93%,2 the highest in the industry.Angel's 2026 Theatrical Slate:ANIMAL FARM (In theaters May 1, 2026)Directed by Andy Serkis, Animal Farm features an impressive voice cast including Serkis, Emmy Award winner Seth Rogen, Emmy Award winner Woody Harrelson, Academy Award nominee Glenn Close, Gaten Matarazzo, Emmy Award winner Jim Parsons, Academy Award nominee Kathleen Turner, Academy Award winner Kieran Culkin, Emmy Award winner Steve Buscemi, Emmy Award winner Laverne Cox, and Iman Vellani.Synopsis: A satirical allegory of revolution and power traces how a movement for equality is systematically corrupted. As the pigs consolidate control, truth is erased, dissent is crushed, and the farm descends into a ruthless dictatorship – fulfilling Orwell's warning about the dangers of communism.YOUNG WASHINGTON (In theaters July 3, 2026)
Trailer HEREThe story of George Washington before the American Revolution, timed to the 250th Anniversary of the founding of the United States. Directed by Jon Erwin, produced by The Wonder Project, and starring Golden Globe winners Kelsey Grammer and Mary-Louise Parker, Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley, and William Franklyn-Miller as a young George Washington.Synopsis: Before he was the Father of a Nation, he was a soldier fighting to survive. A single misstep thrusts young George Washington into the center of a global conflict, testing his honor, loyalty, and courage. As alliances crumble and the frontier erupts into war, he must confront not only his enemies but the man he's becoming. This is the untold story of Young Washington.THE BRINK OF WAR (In theaters August 14, 2026)
Trailer HERESK Global and 2521 Entertainment's Cold War era Reagan-Gorbachev Reykjavik Summit film, directed by Michael Russell Gunn and starring Emmy Award winner Jeff Daniels, Jared Harris, Academy Award winner J.K. Simmons, and Hope Davis, along with Branka Katic, Aya Cash, and Guy Burnet.Synopsis: President Reagan races against time to salvage a deal with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev that could dismantle nuclear arsenals – or ignite disaster. With pressure mounting on all sides, every word spoken brings the world closer to peace or destruction.Quote: "There are moments in history when the world demands uncommon courage – the courage to bridge divides, to sit across the table from an enemy, and to choose a different future. The Brink of War tells the story of one such moment, when Reagan and Gorbachev changed the course of history," said Director Michael Russell Gunn and Producer John Logan Pierson. "We're thrilled to partner with Angel, whose mission to elevate stories that inspire and unite theatrical audiences aligns deeply with the spirit of this film."RUNNER (In theaters September 11, 2026)
Teaser HEREAn action-packed thriller from Director Scott Waugh, Runner brings together Owen Wilson and Alan Ritchson in a high-stakes race against time. Runner also stars Rodrigo Santoro, Leila George, Kate Box, Peta Sergeant, Geraldine Hakewill, Cecilia Toussaint, and Scarlett Crabtree.Synopsis: A former soldier is thrown into a brutal race against time when a critical medical delivery makes him the target of a ruthless cartel. With betrayal closing in from every side, he must survive the chase and deliver his cargo before an innocent child runs out of time.Quote: "Partnering with Angel is a game-changer, because Runner is the kind of theatrical film audiences have been waiting for – big action, real heart, and a story that brings light into this world," said Director Scott Waugh. "When everything's on the line to save a life, real men don't run from the fire; they drive straight into it."ANGEL AND THE BADMAN (In theaters October 2026)
Teaser HEREThe reimagining of the John Wayne classic western is directed by Julio Quintana and stars Academy Award winner Tommy Lee Jones, Zachary Levi, and Neal McDonough.Synopsis: When feared outlaw Quirt Evans staggers onto a rancher's land with a bullet in his back, he expects a quick death, not mercy. But Penny, the rancher's daughter, offers him a chance at something he's never had: a life beyond violence. However, the past doesn't forgive. With the marshal closing in and an outlaw gang ready to burn the ranch to the ground, Quirt must decide what kind of man he'll be when the world demands blood.Quotes: "I've always wanted to produce a Western, and I'm grateful to have assembled such an incredible cast and crew to reimagine this classic," said Producer Jaime Hernandez. "With themes of redemption and personal growth, combined with action, humor, and a touch of romance, we believe this film has all the elements to connect with a broad audience.""One of the most enjoyable experiences my wife and partner Ruvé and I have ever had is helping create Angel and the Badman. To work with Zachary Levi and the legendary Tommy Lee Jones was such a highlight in my career," said Neal McDonough. "But it was truly the direction of Julio Quintana and the production that was put together by Jaime Hernandez and his team alongside the incredible Angel Studios that makes this film unique. It is a beautiful film that the whole family can see in the amazing world of westerns."DRUMMER BOY (In theaters November 6, 2026)An upcoming Christmas musical about two brothers who find themselves on opposite sides of the American Revolutionary War. Directed by Ben Smallbone and Joel David Smallbone, with a screenplay by Richard L. Ramsey. Starring Joel David Smallbone, Lucas Leach, and Beth Easdown.Synopsis: Drummer Boy is an action-musical from four-time Grammy-winning music group For King and Country, which follows two brothers as they find themselves on opposite sides of the American Revolutionary War.Quote: "Eight years in the making. A nation built on 250 years of independence. A Christmas story that began over 2,000 years ago," said Directors Ben and Joel David Smallbone. "This is the fabric of a film created by brothers, about brothers, and we're humbled beyond words to bring it to life."HERSHEY (In theaters Thanksgiving 2026)
HERSHEY First Look HERE A film by Mark Waters, Hershey brings to life the powerful story of a man who overcame early failure to build one of the world's most iconic brands. The film features a standout ensemble cast including Finn Wittrock, Alexandra Daddario, Alan Ruck, Richard Kind, David Costabile, and Heléne Yorke.Synopsis: The story of how one couple's vision started a chocolate empire – and through it, changed the world.Quotes: "Just about everyone knows the Hershey name through chocolate, but what immediately drew me to Milton's story were the obstacles and struggles he overcame to achieve his success. And then, unlike many wealthy men of his time (and ours), he chose to share that success with the working people and the community around him," said Mark Waters, director, Hershey. "That spirit, embodied by the love story between Milton and Catherine Hershey, is the core of our movie, and led to the creation of the still-thriving Milton Hershey School. Angel is the ideal partner to bring this film to audiences because they understand the power of hopeful, values-driven storytelling. Together, we're sharing a uniquely American story – about leaving the world better than you found it.""Beyond sharing the remarkable true story of Milton and Catherine Hershey, at its heart, Hershey is a story about purpose – not just of building an iconic company and extraordinary town, but of building lasting impact through Milton Hershey School," said Kirk Tanner, CEO, The Hershey Company, and MHS President Peter G. Gurt. "Angel is the ideal partner to bring this film to audiences who value heart, hope, and happiness, extending the Hersheys' story and their legacy beyond the screen."ZERO A.D. (In theaters Christmas 2026)The third Angel release from Director Alejandro Monteverde, Zero A.D. recounts the epic biblical story of how Mary bears every sacrifice to save Jesus. The cast features Deva Cassel, Sam Worthington, Jim Caviezel, and Ben Mendelsohn.Synopsis: A ruler consumed by fear. A prophecy that could unmake it all. When a child is born under a sign of rebellion, a terrified king sends his armies to erase him. But one woman refuses to run from destiny. As violence spreads and hope flickers, the true battle begins – not for a throne, but for the soul of mankind.About Angel

Key Highlights
2025 fourth quarter revenue increased 254.3% year-over-year to $109.9 million, compared to $31.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
The Company’s recurring revenue stream, referred to as the Angel Guild, represents 62.9% of total revenues for the fourth quarter, representing year-over-year Guild revenue growth of 379.9%.
For the 2025 full year, revenue increased 233.2% to $321.6 million, compared to $96.5 million for the full year ended December 31, 2024.
The Angel Guild represented 65.2% of total revenues for the full year 2025, growth of 488.3% year over year.
Guild Membership reached 2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to approximately 1.6 million in the third quarter of 2025 and approximately 550,000 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024. Quarter to date, Guild Membership stands at 2.2 million.
Trailing twelve month Average Revenue Per Member “ARPM” was $13.67 for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, versus $13.70 in Q3. This is reflective of innovative member acquisition strategies put in place for Q4.
Total shares issued and outstanding were 169,095,572 as of December 31, 2025.
The Company plans to double its streaming library, adding 200 films and more than 500 television episodes and specials to the Angel platform.

DAVID became the highest-grossing faith-based animated theatrical opening of all time.
DAVID had the best three-day theatrical opening in the company’s history, surpassing Sound of Freedom.
The Company had two of the top ten highest-grossing animated domestic theatrical releases in 2025 (DAVID and The King of Kings).
Animal Farm, directed by Andy Serkis and featuring the voices of Seth Rogen, Woody Harrelson, Glenn Close, Gaten Matarazzo, Kathleen Turner, and Kieran Culkin, will be released in theaters on May 1, 2026.
Young Washington, starring Sir Ben Kingsley, Kelsey Grammer, Mary-Louise Parker, and William Franklyn-Miller, opens on July 3, 2026, tied to America’s 250th anniversary.
Zero A.D., directed by Alejandro Monteverde and starring Deva Cassel, Sam Worthington, and Ben Mendelsohn, with Gael García Bernal and Jim Caviezel, will release in the fourth quarter.
Message from our CEO
“We listed on NYSE, achieved the highest average domestic box office per title among all independent distributors, and received by far the highest audience satisfaction scores in the industry – again,” said Angel co-founder and CEO Neal Harmon. “It is all due to the wisdom, passion, and guidance of our Angel Guild, which more than tripled in size this year to more than two million strong, generating $360 million in annual recurring revenue. The Guild proves every day that there is a growing global audience for values-driven films and television.”
Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Total revenue was $109.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 and $321.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $31.0 million and $96.5 million in the prior year periods, respectively. The quarterly increase in revenues was due to an increase in Angel Guild revenue of $54.7 million and theatrical release revenue, which increased by $19.6 million as a result of the success of the DAVID theatrical rollout.
Gross Margin for the quarter was 60% compared to 58% a year ago in Q4.
Selling and marketing for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $120.6 million, compared to $38.0 million for the 2024 comparable quarter. The increase was largely due to faster than expected Guild member growth and the marketing investment to support the DAVID release.
Net loss was $78.6 million, or ($0.47) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to a net loss of $37.2 million, or ($0.26) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Liquidity
As of December 31, 2025, Angel has cash and cash equivalents of $44.1 million, this compares to $7.2 million as of December 31, 2024.
Outlook
The Company anticipates a significantly narrowed Adjusted EBITDA loss of less than $25 million for the full year 2026.
By the end of 2026, we expect to add 730 titles (including films, episodes, and comedy specials), making Angel one of the fastest-growing libraries of values-driven films and television series anywhere in the world.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words such as "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates," "may," "will," "should," "would," "could," or similar expressions. Statements regarding the Company’s financial performance, the anticipated Adjusted EBITDA loss for the full year 2026, and other expectations regarding future performance are forward-looking statements based on management's current expectations and assumptions. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied.
"Adjusted EBITDA" is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as earnings before Interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock compensation expense, and the gain/loss on digital assets, as well as exceptional items. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of operating performance to evaluate the performance of the Company’s core business operations, to facilitate comparisons of operating results across reporting periods, and to assist in planning and forecasting future periods. Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company’s operating performance and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net loss or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. The company intends to report Adjusted EBITDA on an ongoing basis beginning with its next quarterly earnings release.
“Annual recurring revenue” (ARR) is a non-GAAP financial metric calculated by multiplying the total number of Guild Members by the Company’s trailing twelve-month Average Revenue Per Member (“ARPM”) of $13.67 and annualizing that amount. ARR represents a forward-looking estimate of recurring membership revenue based on current membership levels and historical ARPM and should not be considered a substitute for revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated due to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to: the Company's ability to grow and retain its Angel Guild membership base; the performance of the Company's theatrical and streaming content releases, including audience reception and box office results; competitive pressures from other streaming platforms, studios, and entertainment alternatives; adverse macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, changes in consumer spending, or capital market disruptions that could affect the Company's access to financing or its operating costs; and other risks described from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
