Big Shot Pictures to adapt CookieRun into feature film
Big Shot Pictures has acquired the film adaptation rights to CookieRun, the South Korean gaming franchise created by Devsisters, which has generated more than 300 million downloads. The feature-length animated film is targeting a global release in 2029, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the original game, OvenBreak.
Big Shot Pictures will lead production
Big Shot Pictures will lead production, while Devsisters will work closely with the company on the film’s creative direction. The adaptation aims to bring the franchise’s character-driven storytelling to cinemas and reach both existing fans and new audiences worldwide.
Launched in 2009 and inspired by the folk tale The Gingerbread Man, CookieRun follows cookie characters escaping the witch’s oven in which they were created. The franchise has since expanded beyond mobile games to include trading cards, merchandise and live experiences.
More than 350 million players worldwide
Devsisters reports that the CookieRun franchise has reached more than 350 million players worldwide and generated over $1 billion in lifetime revenue.
Brian Robbins, CEO of Big Shot Pictures, said the film would expand the franchise beyond mobile gaming and introduce its characters to new global audiences. Devsisters CEO Kilhyeon Cho added that the adaptation would offer longtime fans a new way to experience the franchise while sharing its message of courage with newcomers.
