CookieRun film planned for 2029 by Big Shot Pictures and Devsisters
Runaway cookies are heading for the big screen.
Big Shot Pictures has optioned the feature rights to CookieRun and will develop the film in partnership with Devsisters, the creator and owner of the property, as reported by Deadline. The project is aimed at a global cinema release in 2029.
That date is no accident. A 2029 release would coincide with the 20th anniversary of the franchise's original game, OvenBreak. Devsisters launched CookieRun in South Korea in 2009, and the series has since passed 300 million downloads.
The premise is simple. Inspired by the folk tale The Gingerbread Man, CookieRun follows Cookies who escape the witch's oven that brought them to life. Run fast. Do not get eaten.
The franchise now stretches across games, cards, shelves and stages. Its titles include CookieRun: Kingdom, CookieRun: OvenBreak and CookieRun: Crumble, alongside the CookieRun: Braverse Trading Card Game, merchandise and live experiences. Braverse matches are organised around 60-card decks built from Cookies, Items, Traps and Stage cards, according to Devsisters.
America is the commercial centre. The United States is CookieRun's top market, accounting for 65% of global merchandise sales in 2025. That same year, CookieRun: Kingdom made YouTube's Top 10 U.S. Trending Topics, the only standalone game on the list.
The film pairs two chief executives. Brian Robbins leads Big Shot Pictures, while Kilhyeon Cho leads Devsisters. Big Shot has a first-look theatrical distribution deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment, which means Sony gets first chance to handle its cinema releases.
Robbins is a veteran operator. He previously served as chief of Paramount, as reported by Variety. Since launching Big Shot, he has acquired the Eloise franchise and taken a 25% stake in Alvin and the Chipmunks through a joint venture with Bagdasarian Productions. The company plans to develop Eloise shows on YouTube before bringing them elsewhere, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
What makes this stand out is the calendar. A 2029 target gives the film-makers three years to build, and gives Devsisters an anniversary to market around. For fans, this means a long wait with a clear date attached.
