Movie-Ticketing Giant Fandango Steps Into Distribution With ‘House Of Worship’ Concert Film; Exec Talks Expansion Plans

Deadline · 6 hours ago

Fandango has begun distributing films with the faith-based concert feature House of Worship, screened for three days in about 400 cinemas. The move matters because it extends the US ticketing company beyond ticket sales into a full entertainment distribution business, using its own platforms from cinemas to on-demand and advertising-supported streaming.

The film features 25 Christian music artists and was executive produced by Darlene Zschech and Michael W. Smith; Fandango says audience engagement is strong but has not disclosed box-office takings. Its parent company, Versant Media, is seeking new digital revenue as linear television faces pressure, while Fandango also plans a unified ticketing-and-streaming app, closer links with Rotten Tomatoes and international growth.

  • Fandango is distributing its first film, House of Worship.
  • The release spans cinemas and future streaming platforms.
  • Versant wants digital growth beyond linear television.
