Pocket.watch and Sunlight Entertainment have partnered to independently release Ryan’s World the Movie: Titan Universe Adventure in theaters across the U.S. on August 16.
The film blends live-action sequences with anime inspired by the flagship Ryan’s World series Titan Universe to show Ryan’s metamorphosis into his animated superhero persona Red Titan. It will premiere on 2,100 cinema screens in all major markets across the U.S.
Ryan’s World the Movie: Titan Universe Adventure is the first theatrical film with the entire cast made up of digital creators, with the Kaji family playing themselves.
“Our decision at pocket.watch to embark on this first-of-its-kind endeavor independently with our partners, Sunlight Entertainment, stems from our incredible confidence that Ryan’s World fans will come out for a magical theatrical experience,” said Chris M. Williams, founder and CEO at pocket.watch. “We recognize the immense potential of independently distributed theatrical releases from digital creators in shaping the future of cinema as we aim to open doors for future and fellow creators and elevate the entire creator community.”
“Making a feature film has been a dream of ours that became a reality,” said Shion Kaji, Ryan’s father and CEO of Sunlight Entertainment. “We are over the moon that we will be able to share our newest, biggest adventure yet and connect with even more fans who love to laugh, play and learn like we do when Ryan’s World the Movie: Titan Universe Adventure hits theaters this August.”
