CosmoBlue Media, a dynamic force in digital distribution and entertainment, recently completed the acquisition of the Cineplex Store from Cineplex Entertainment, and today announced its plans to rebrand the blockbuster streaming platform as CosmoGO later this year. This strategic move cements CosmoBlue Media’s commitment to delivering premium entertainment experiences globally, while also signaling a deepened investment in the Canadian market.

The Cineplex Store platform has long been a favourite for Canadian audiences, offering over 10,000 titles from Hollywood blockbusters to indie gems and rare finds, and bringing the magic of the big screen directly into homes. CosmoBlue Media is poised to expand the future of CosmoGO, building on its global content library and strong relationships with major studios, distributors, and international content partners.

As a rising player in digital distribution and entertainment, CosmoBlue Media plans to build on this acquisition by expanding its theatrical offerings to exhibitors across Canada. This will include a dynamic slate of event-driven releases, from feature films to special presentations such as live concerts and sports showcases, available both in-theatre and on the CosmoGO platform. These initiatives are designed to enhance the Canadian entertainment experience and offer audiences unique, immersive content beyond traditional cinema.

Following the rebrand, CosmoGO will be evolving into a multi-platform service in Canada. The service will integrate Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD), Pay Per View (PPV), Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD), and Advertising-based Video on Demand (AVOD) offerings, providing Canadian audiences with unprecedented access and choice in their entertainment experience.

This acquisition aligns seamlessly with CosmoBlue Media’s vision of redefining entertainment consumption. “We are excited to introduce CosmoBlue to Canadian audiences with the start of CosmoGO,” said Loni Farhi, Co-Founder and Group President of CosmoBlue Media. “This represents a pivotal step in our mission to provide unparalleled entertainment experiences across multiple platforms. By integrating Cineplex Store’s rich catalog with our expertise in digital distribution, we’re set to redefine how audiences engage with premium content. Furthermore, this marks one of our major investments in Canada, reaffirming our commitment to this thriving market.”

Canadians can look forward to a broader range of titles, enhanced curation, and an exciting future of experiences. Whether they’re curled up on the couch, catching something on the go, or gearing up for the big-screen experience, the future of entertainment with CosmoBlue is meeting audiences exactly where they are.

Today, the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television (the Canadian Academy) announced a selection of 2025 Special Awards recipients, presented by the Canadian Screen Awards. Marsha Greene, Manny Jacinto, Ellis Jacob, Denise Robert, and This Hour Has 22 Minutes will be recognized for their outstanding contributions to the Canadian and international screen-based industries at the 2025 Canadian Screen Awards, taking place in Toronto from Friday, May 30 to Sunday, June 1, 2025.

“This year’s Special Award recipients have left an enduring impact on both the big and small screens, shaping Canadian storytelling with their creativity, innovation, and commitment,” said Tammy Frick, CEO, Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television. “These honourees represent the incredible talent and strength of our homegrown creative community, and we are excited to celebrate their achievements at the 2025 Canadian Screen Awards.”

“On behalf of the Canadian Academy’s Board of Directors, I am honoured to offer sincere congratulations to the Academy’s 2025 Special Award recipients — an exceptional group of hardworking, dedicated and talented professionals who have greatly contributed to Canada and have solidified their legacies in Canadian film and television,” said Thomas Santram, Board Chair, Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television.

The 2025 Special Award recipients are:

The Academy Board of Directors’ Tribute Award, honouring Canadian individuals for their extraordinary impact on the growth of the Canadian media industry, is presented to two titans of Canadian media: President and CEO of Cineplex Ellis Jacob and producer Denise Robert.

Ellis Jacob was appointed President and CEO of Cineplex in October 2003. Since entering the exhibition industry in 1987, his leadership has transformed the movie-going experience for Canadians. Before this, Ellis was President and CEO of Galaxy Entertainment Inc., which he co-founded in 1999. He was Head of Integration for Alliance Atlantis Communications Inc., and held leadership positions with Cineplex Odeon Corporation, culminating as COO.

Denise Robert has produced over 45 critically acclaimed features that have won more than 130 awards, including an Oscar for Denys Arcand’s Les invasions barbares, with 33 of her films surpassing one million dollars at the box office. Denise believes in using documentary to highlight serious social issues, and her work has led to tangible change: Paul Arcand’s Les voleurs d’enfance led to Quebec’s youth protection law reforms, while Monic Néron and Émilie Perreault’s La parfaite victime led the Quebec government to create a court specialized in sexual and domestic violence, and Paul Arcand’s Dérapages raised road safety awareness in teenagers.

The Changemaker Award, presented by Insight Productions, which recognizes and honours those in the media community in Canada who are using their voice or platform to call out systemic racism and discrimination, supporting and amplifying the voices of those who are actively engaged in anti-racist work, and seeking structural transformations in media, film, and television in Canada that promote values of equity and inclusion, is presented to executive producer and writer Marsha Greene. Greene was recently the co-creator and showrunner of the Emmy-nominated series The Porter for CBC and BET+, which won a record 12 Canadian Screen Awards, including Best Drama Series and Best Writing, Drama Series. An accomplished executive producer and writer, Marsha previously served as a showrunner on Lifetime’s Mary Kills People, a co-EP on CBC’s breakout hit Coroner, a producer on the ABC series 10 Days in the Valley, and has staffed on shows such as Private Eyes, Departure, and Wild Cards.

The Radius Award, presented by MADE | NOUS, honouring an artist from Canada whose work is leaving a resounding global impact, is presented to actor Manny Jacinto. Jacinto most recently starred in the Star Wars series The Acolyte, Disney+’s second most-watched show in 2024. Up next, he can be seen starring as the male lead in Freakier Friday, and in the independent romantic comedy Love Language. Additional film credits include I Want You Back, Top Gun: Maverick, and Bad Times at the El Royale, and additional television credits include The Good Place, Nine Perfect Strangers, and The Romeo Section, for which he was nominated for a Leo Award.

The Sustainable Production Award, presented by CBC, is awarded to a production that has shown excellence in sustainable production and has had a measurable reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and/or innovations in circularity and that has also contributed positively to the Canadian media landscape and local communities. This year, the award is presented to This Hour Has 22 Minutes, the longest-running TV comedy series in Canadian history. The integration of a Sustainability Department has fostered company-wide participation in green practices; its focus on the kinds of materials and services used, repurposing and repairing items, recycling and composting, ensuring a sustainable food service, donations to charities, and mindful travel and transportation practices have resulted in a carbon footprint that is significantly less than the industry average for a half-hour comedy episode, with content that reflects an environmentally friendly ethos.

This January, Cineplex will celebrate the cinematic genius of acclaimed director David Fincher, offering moviegoers a rare chance to revisit his films on the big screen as part of the Classic Films series at Cineplex. From the tension-filled psychological thrillers The Game (1997) and Panic Room (2002) to innovative narratives in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) and The Social Network (2010), Fincher’s unparalleled body of work has cemented his place as one of the most influential directors in modern cinema.

Audiences can rediscover the brilliance of Fincher’s filmography throughout the month of January with eight of his films screening nationwide, including a special 30th anniversary IMAX presentation of the gut-wrenching mystery, Se7en (1995) starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman available in select theatres.
