- Angel Studios said its Angel Guild membership program has surpassed 3 million paying members, doubling its level from a year ago.
- CEO Neal Harmon told Deadline in June the Guild had reached 2.4 million members, meaning the roster jumped roughly 25% in about four months to hit 3 million.
- The Angel Guild functions as both a recurring revenue source and a "giant-scale focus group," with members weighing in at various stages of production including test screenings.
- Sound of Freedom grossed more than $250 million worldwide after its 2023 release, establishing Angel as a theatrical player for values-based content.
- Young Washington grossed $47 million after premiering at June's Tribeca Festival and spawned a sequel.
- Angel shares remain well below their September 2025 IPO price but have risen more than 20% over the past week to about $5.50.
- Angel's upcoming theatrical slate includes the action thriller Runner, starring Owen Wilson and Alan Ritchson, alongside Angel and the Badman, Drummer Boy, Hershey, and Zero A.D.
Why it matters: For a company that IPO'd in September 2025 and whose shares remain well below their offering price, hitting 3 million paying members — up from 2.4 million as recently as June — gives Angel Studios a concrete recurring-revenue engine to point to. Because the Guild also acts as a built-in test audience, the upcoming slate (Runner, Angel and the Badman, Zero A.D.) arrives with a paying customer base that has already helped shape it.
