Angel's three million

When Drummer Boy opens November 6, and again when Zero A.D. opens December 11, Neal Harmon will be able to tell an exhibitor that three million people now pay Angel Studios to pick the slate. Angel put that figure out Monday. A year earlier, on August 23, 2025, the Guild stood at 1.5 million, and Harmon’s shop says the recurring fees have doubled in the same window.

Guild members pay for the right to screen titles before release and to vote on what Angel books into theaters and onto the app. In Monday’s Provo release, Harmon, who co-founded the company and still runs it, called three million “an important early milestone” and said those members “now direct over half a billion dollars a year toward stories that match their values.”

The number Deadline ran

Nobody published a spreadsheet for the half-billion. Deadline printed the membership count anyway, and put Young Washington at $47 million worldwide, the last Angel Friday that already filled rooms on Guild votes.

Angel went public a year ago as ANGX, and Deadline noted the shares remain well below the IPO print even after a climb of more than 20 percent last week, to about $5.50. Three million names will travel farther in an exhibitor meeting this fall than a year-old ticker will.

The fall titles

Monday never dated a new opening. The release named the work the three million are supposed to carry: new seasons of The Wingfeather Saga, Homestead, and Testament, and, for theaters, Runner with Owen Wilson and Alan Ritchson, then Angel and the Badman, Drummer Boy, Hershey, and Zero A.D.. Drummer Boy is already November 6. Zero A.D.: The Birth of Christ is already December 11.

Fablehaven never made the list. Brandon Mull’s picture remains a 2027 window waiting on a cast, so Monday updated the fall circuit and left the production questions untouched.

Drummer Boy already shares November 6 with Fathom’s Jimmy. Zero A.D. has December 11 to itself. Harmon will walk into both of those conversations with three million paying members behind him, and then the musical and the Nativity hunt have to fill the seats.

The beatOn the upcoming board

Drummer Boy is a title this desk is watching. Windows, studios, and the rest of the slate live on Upcoming.
