Key Figures
Market Reality Check
Peers on Argus
CNVS fell 2.56% while peers were mixed: LVO up 0.91%, CIDM and AESE flat, RDI down 2.86%, MPU down 4.45%. This points to stock-specific dynamics rather than a coordinated sector move.
Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feb 03 | Franchise relaunch | Positive | -6.3% | Nationwide theatrical relaunch of the Air Bud franchise with August 2026 opening. |
| Jan 29 | Streaming growth | Positive | -3.8% | Announced new SCREAMBOX horror programming and year-over-year subscriber growth metrics. |
| Jan 15 | Private placement | Neutral | +1.4% | Cell Source closed convertible note financing and detailed terms, proceeds and warrants. |
| Jan 14 | Retail partnership | Positive | +3.0% | Cineverse–GameStop partnership tied to Return to Silent Hill theatrical rollout and in-store activation. |
| Jan 12 | Acquisition integration | Positive | +1.5% | Announced leadership team for Giant Worldwide and integration into the Matchpoint ecosystem. |
Recent CNVS content and partnership announcements often coincided with modest or negative next-day moves, suggesting enthusiasm around new releases has not consistently translated into short-term price strength.
This announcement adds another IP-driven content beat to Cineverse’s recent string of releases and partnerships. In January 2026, CNVS highlighted new horror programming and subscriber growth on SCREAMBOX and detailed leadership integration for the Giant Worldwide acquisition. It also partnered with GameStop around the theatrical rollout of Return to Silent Hill, and announced the nationwide relaunch of the Air Bud franchise slated for August 21, 2026. Against that backdrop, today’s Silent Night, Deadly Night home-release news continues the focus on genre and franchise monetization.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement expands Cineverse’s horror portfolio, moving Silent Night, Deadly Night from digital EST/TVOD into physical formats on February 17, 2026. It follows earlier updates on SCREAMBOX growth, franchise relaunches, and integration of Giant Worldwide into the Matchpoint ecosystem. Together, these point to a strategy centered on genre IP and multi-platform distribution. Investors may watch how such releases contribute to revenue and whether they help address previously reported operating losses and liquidity pressure.
