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.

Angel Guild Grows Toward 2.4 Million Members as Company Launches New Innovations on the Angel Platform and App to Strengthen CommunityJune 11, 2026 10:00 AM
Business Wire Angel (NYSE: ANGX) – a media and technology company successfully pioneering a first-of-its-kind audience-driven studio model in which Angel Guild members watch, screen and vote on which films and television series get distributed in theaters and on the Angel platform – announced that the company has added nearly 200,000 Guild members since Q1, boosting the Guild to now nearly 2.4 million paying members. The company also announced today that it is launching new technology innovations on the Angel platform and app, including Guild Age Rating and Guild Theater Seating, designed to build and strengthen the growing Angel community. “Every Angel Guild member represents a simple but powerful idea: their insights on stories matter,” said Angel Co-Founder and CEO Neal Harmon. “Our members are not sitting on the sidelines. They are offering their insights, inviting friends, organizing family nights at the movies, and helping to create momentum. As our community grows, our job is to build better ways for members to find each other, share what they are most passionate about, and turn great stories into shared experiences. The tools we are announcing today are designed to help Guild members do just that.” The innovations are intended to provide even greater opportunity for Guild members to come across a shared set of values and aspirations. Namely: Guild Age Rating allows Guild members to suggest a recommended age for a film or television title when it launches on the Angel platform. The age recommendation appears next to every new Angel title, as well as on the theatrical ticketing page within the Angel app when members purchase movie tickets to an Angel release. This feature has already promoted engagement on the Angel platform. Guild Theater Seating, which launches soon on the Angel app, will allow Angel Guild members to find and sit next to other Guild members at the movie theater. When purchasing film tickets on the Angel app, Guild members who have purchased seats will be represented by a generic Angel Guild shield icon. As the trend toward in-person entertainment continues to accelerate, the Angel community will have more opportunities to connect with each other and enjoy shared values-driven experiences. Guided by the insights and inspiration of Guild members, Angel continues to make important strides toward creating the largest library of values-driven films and television content in the world, adding 80 films and 250 new television episodes and specials to the platform since the beginning of the year. The growing Angel Guild is reflected in Angel’s diverse upcoming theatrical slate, which is among the most powerful it has ever assembled. It features a wide range of values-driven stories, including Young Washington, a historical epic starring Golden Globe Award winners Kelsey Grammer and Mary-Louise Parker, Academy Award winner Sir Ben Kingsley, and William Franklyn-Miller; The Brink of War, a Cold War drama starring Jeff Daniels as Ronald Reagan, Jared Harris, and Academy Award winner J.K. Simmons; Runner, an action-packed thriller starring Owen Wilson and Alan Ritchson; and Zero A.D. starring Deva Cassel, Sam Worthington, Jim Caviezel, and Ben Mendelsohn.

Angel Takes U.S. Rights to Family Fantasy Adventure “FING!” Starring Taika Waititi, Mia Wasikowska, Penelope Wilton, Blake Harrison and Newcomer Iona BellMay 11, 2026 1:00 PM
Business Wire Angel, a media and technology company successfully pioneering a first-of-its-kind audience-driven studio model, has acquired US rights from AGC Studios to FING!, based on the international best-selling children’s book. The film stars Academy Award® winner, Taika Waititi (Time Bandits, Our Flag Means Death), Mia Wasikowska (Club Zero, Alice In Wonderland), Richard Roxburgh (Elvis, Prosper), Penelope Wilton (The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, Downton) Blake Harrison (World On Fire and I Hate Suzie Too), Robyn Nevin (Sting, The End), newcomer Iona Bell (upcoming The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping) and Matt Lucas (Little Britain, Doctor Who) as the voice of Fing. FING! will have a wide U.S. theatrical release in early 2027. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260511306851/en/Courtesy of AGC Studios Librarians Mr. and Mrs. Meek, (Harrison and Wasikowska) dote on their daughter, Myrtle (Bell) and will do anything to keep her happy but she always wants MORE! When Myrtle demands a Fing, her parents embark on a perilous jungle quest, racing to claim the creature before a ruthless animal park owner, The Viscount (Waititi) can seize it for himself. “FING! Is exactly the kind of fantastical, joy-filled adventure the Angel Guild was made to champion,” said David Fischer, vice president of acquisitions and business affairs. “When our community of families vote with this level of enthusiasm, we listen. We couldn’t be more excited to bring it to audiences across America alongside our partners at AGC Studios.” Stuart Ford added, “We and our partners on “FING!” are tremendously excited at the prospect of Angel Studios demonstrating their proven reach with family audiences across America and bringing their uniquely targeted releasing approach to the film which has unfailingly charmed audiences everywhere we’ve played it.” The ambitious fantasy feature film is led by a world-class creative team. Multi-award-winner Jeffrey Walker (Apple Cider Vinegar, The Portable Door, The Artful Dodger) directs from a screenplay by Emmy Award winner Kevin Cecil (Veep, Gnomeo & Juliet) and three-time BAFTA award winner, David Walliams based on his original book. The film is an Australian UK co-production, produced by Jo Sargent from London-based King Bert Productions, and Todd Fellman from Queensland’s Story Bridge Films. Executive producers are Walliams, Craig McMahon, Kevin Cecil, Yvonne Sellins, Stuart Ford, Miguel A. Palos Jr., Aghi D. Koh, Andrew Orr, Julia Stuart, Janay Carrott and Shana Levine. AGC Studios co-financed and are handling worldwide sales; Transmission Films will release theatrically in ANZ, with Stan premiering as a Stan Original on SVOD. Sky also financed and will premiere the film in the UK as a Sky Original on Sky Cinema. Additional financing was provided by Elevate Production Finance and Bondit Media Capital. FING! had its World Premiere as a family showcase title at the Sundance Film Festival where it received a standing ovation. The festival team said, “In this lively, magical adventure, the cutely monstrous Fing is both a fantastical furball friend and a hurricane of hijinks. Myrtle, warmly and energetically portrayed by Iona Bell, is an equally matched complement to the Fing’s chaotic force, as her parents, played by Mia Wasikowska and Blake Harrison, haphazardly yet lovingly pick up the pieces. Taika Waititi dazzles as the larger-than-life viscount, a cartoonish villain amid a menagerie of eccentric animals.” They added, “Imbued with a characteristically British wit and vibrance, Fing! is just as funny as it is heartwarming — a colorful, charming delight for audiences of all ages.” FING! joins Angel’s diverse upcoming theatrical slate featuring a wide range of values-driven stories, including Young Washington, a historical epic starring Golden Globe Award winners Kelsey Grammer and Mary-Louise Parker, Academy Award winner Sir Ben Kingsley, and William Franklyn-Miller; The Brink of War, a Cold War drama starring Jeff Daniels, Jared Harris, and Academy Award winner J.K.

I'm looking forward to Young Washington, The Brink of War, and Hershey. I'm possibly looking forward to Runner, Angel and the Badman, and Zero A.D. As for Animal Farm at least the popcorn was good.

Key 2026 Angel Studios Releases (Theatrical)

Animal Farm: (May 1, 2026) Animated adaptation directed by Andy Serkis.

Young Washington: (July 3, 2026) Historical drama on the early life of George Washington, released during the 250th anniversary of America.

The Brink of War: (August 14, 2026) Cold War drama focusing on Reagan and Gorbachev.

Runner: (September 11, 2026) Action thriller starring Owen Wilson and Alan Ritchson.

Angel and the Badman: (October 2026) A remake of the Western starring Tommy Lee Jones.

Drummer Boy: (November 6, 2026) Action-musical about the American Revolutionary War.

Hershey: (November 2026) Biopic of Milton Hershey starring Finn Wittrock.

Zero A.D.: (December 25, 2026) Biblical epic from Alejandro Monteverde.

Animal Farm did not get great reviews so you are in the majority. But I'm wondering what was the cost to produce it vs current / future revenue? Anywhoo- The rest of the movies being released this year look more promising. (checked trailers in post #33). Also looking at the daily chart, it looks like the underwriters bonus has been worked thru and cashed in the last few hours. (The Company granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,145,000 shares). Maybe now we go higher.

Looks like someone liked it.

Went to see "Animal Farm" today and I didn't like it.

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 more than 2 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. With 100 films and more than 30 television series on the platform, Angel has achieved the highest audience satisfaction scores in the industry and the highest average domestic box office per title among all independent studios. It has done so while evolving a new economic model that shares profits more fully with filmmakers. For more information, visit www.angel.com.


Forward-Looking Statements


This press release may contain 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 "expects," "believes," "may," "will," "should," "would," or similar expressions. Statements regarding the Company’s 2026 theatrical slate, 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.


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 law.


A reconciliation between net income/(loss) and Adjusted EBITDA is presented below:
