‘The Chosen’ Has Been an Outsized Hit for Fathom Entertainment — Will Season 5’s Theatrical Run for ‘Last Supper’ Be Its Biggest Yet?
As 'The Chosen: Last Supper' prepares for its Season 5 premiere in theaters, Fathom Entertainment plans hundreds of Imax engagements.
When the idea first arose to premiere “The Chosen” in theaters instead of on streaming or cable, “People looked at me like I was crazy,” says Fathom Entertainment CEO Ray Nutt. The franchise from creator Dallas Jenkins, first financed via crowdfunding, has been a runaway success, with spinoffs including “Bear Grylls’ The Chosen in the Wild” and merch from picture books to framed artworks. A new slate of big-screen classics with intros from critic Leonard Maltin will be announced at CinemaCon, Nutt says, following the success of recent retrospective screenings like “The Goonies.”
