The SLAM 7 trilogy encompasses three 90-minute films, digital comic books and an animated television series that is set to debut in 2015. The Hub Network holds the world premiere rights for all three movies starting with the first film installment, Beginnings, which will have multiple airings this month.  

New consumer products partners for the property include:

  • Greensource for apparel in the U.S.;

  • Adtn International for board shorts and sleepwear in the U.S.; and

  • All the new licensees plan to launch product this spring.

Additionally, Cinedigm, the brand’s exclusive home entertainment partner in the U.S., will release the first movie installment, Stan Lee’s Mighty 7: Beginnings, initially exclusively at Walmart and Sam’s Club in April. 

International distribution of the trilogy and the upcoming TV series outside of the U.S. is being handled by PGS Entertainment, which recently secured its first international deal with ABC Television Australia.
