This success proves that event cinema is not just to fill gaps between blockbusters; it exists to provide premium content to audiences who will return to theaters to have the big screen experience."

"Angel has spent years building a dedicated audience around this series, not just people who will watch but fans who will take action. That audience turned out in force for this event, and we plan to use this same tactic to launch numerous other Angel Originals in theaters in the near future," said Jordan Harmon , President of Angel Studios.
