The partnership is designed to translate the games' rich, character-driven storytelling into an expansive cinematic experience for global audiences, with Big Shot Pictures leading the production process and Devsisters, the original creator of CookieRun, working closely with Big Shot to shape the film’s core creative direction. The film is targeting a 2029 global release, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the franchise's original game, OvenBreak. Launched by Devsisters in South Korea in 2009 and inspired by the folk tale The Gingerbread Man, CookieRun follows Cookies who escape the witch's oven that brought them to life. It has since grown into a global entertainment brand spanning flagship games *CookieRun: Kingdom, CookieRun: OvenBreak*, and *CookieRun: Crumble*, plus the *CookieRun: Braverse* trading card game, alongside merchandise and live experiences. The U.S. is the franchise's top market, accounting for 65% of global merchandise sales in 2025. In addition, [*CookieRun: Kingdom* was named one of YouTube's Top 10 U.S. trending topics](https://x.com/devsisters/status/1996773260911116598) in 2025, the only standalone game on the list. *“We are thrilled to bring a phenomenon as beloved as CookieRun to the big screen,”* **said Brian Robbins, CEO of Big Shot Pictures.** *“Expanding this vibrant world beyond mobile screens into cinema allows us to connect with millions of existing fans while introducing the franchise to new global audiences. Big Shot’s expertise in digital-first storytelling and short-form engagement uniquely suits us to amplify the massive online conversation already surrounding these characters.”* *“CookieRun began as a mobile game and has since expanded into new territory, from merchandise and trading cards to live events,”* **said Kilhyeon Cho, CEO of Devsisters.** *“At the center of it all is a richly imagined dessert world, home to Cookies who break out of the oven to choose their own fate. Bringing that world to the big screen expands the CookieRun experience in a way no other medium can. We hope it gives longtime fans a new way to meet the characters they've grown up with, and newcomers a message of courage that stays with them. With Big Shot as our partner, we're excited to share this world with audiences everywhere.”* This deal represents Big Shot’s focused strategy of assembling slate built around iconic IP and creators with deep, loyal global audiences. In addition to acquiring the Eloise franchise and recently acquiring a 25% stake in Alvin and the Chipmunks through a landmark joint venture with Bagdasarian Productions – with a theatrical film in 2028, the company is in pre-production on an anime series with global streaming phenomenon IShowSpeed, written and produced by One Piece showrunner Matt Owens.
