#FIRSTLOOK: COSMOBLUE MEDIA ACQUIRES CINEPLEX STORE

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.
