# Fathom Entertainment

## Overview
Fathom Entertainment specializes in theatrical event screenings, typically for anime (Dragon Ball, Demon Slayer), classic films, operas, and sports events. Provides theatrical distribution infrastructure for event-based content releases.

## Business Model
Limited-engagement theatrical releases (typically 1-4 days) in partnership with content creators and studios. Handles theater booking, ticketing infrastructure, and distribution logistics while content owners retain creative control.

## Timeline
- **2026-04-10** — Partnered with Glitch Productions for The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act theatrical release. $5M in presales in 4 days broke all company presale records. Expanded release from 900 theaters (4 days) to 1,800+ theaters (2 weeks).

## Strategic Position
Fathom's infrastructure enables YouTube-native creators to access theatrical distribution without traditional studio intermediaries. The Amazing Digital Circus presale performance (breaking records against established anime theatrical event IP) demonstrates creator-led content can compete with established theatrical event franchises on Fathom's platform.
