Blue Fox Entertainment has announced the acquisition of international sales rights for two Tubi Original films, impacting the YA genre marketplace.
Blue Fox Entertainment has officially acquired the international sales rights to two upcoming Tubi Original films, Remember Me and Game On. The announcement was made on September 4, 2026, ahead of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), where the studio will start engaging with international buyers.
Both films are currently in production. Remember Me is a young adult murder mystery adapted from Christopher Pike's novel of the same name. The film features stars Brec Bassinger, known for her role in Final Destination: Bloodlines, and Charlie Gillespie from Heated Rivalry Season 2. Other cast members include Mila Rayne, Phoebe Lyons, Matthew Vey, and Kealeboga Masango. Danishka Esterhazy directs the film, with Suzanne Keilly providing the screenplay.
In Game On, the story centers on Casey, a gifted gamer aiming to win her high school's first esports championship. When she discovers that her online rival, Theo, is her charming new schoolmate, the narrative explores themes of identity and romance. Sky Katz and Case Walker lead the cast, with Jem Garrard serving as the writer and director. Notably, the film also features the voice of Nolan North, an acclaimed figure in video games.
Both films are produced by Blue Ice Pictures, with an executive production team that includes Lance Samuels, Danishka Esterhazy, and Suzanne Keilly for Remember Me, while Jem Garrard and Sky Katz serve in similar roles for Game On. Blue Fox's prior successes include popular Tubi Originals such as Kissing is the Easy Part and the Sidelined franchise, underscoring a solid track record in this genre.
According to Lisa Gutberlet, President of Blue Fox Entertainment, the acquisition highlights the unique potential of both films. Remember Me benefits from an established fan base of the book series it draws from, while Game On connects with the growing gaming community, making it particularly appealing to younger audiences. As international sales commence, both films could enhance Blue Fox's portfolio and engage youth demographics across global markets.
The ongoing interest in young adult narratives, especially when intertwined with contemporary themes like gaming and mysteries, positions these films to resonate well with today’s viewers. The TIFF market is a crucial opportunity for Blue Fox to introduce these titles to potential buyers, and the upcoming festival is expected to provide a platform for promoting their unique qualities.
The acquisition of these films underscores the evolving landscape of the YA genre, emphasizing platforms like Tubi as key players in the international marketplace. As these projects progress, they will contribute to the broader conversation about youth-oriented narratives in film. With practical production insights and strategic positioning, Blue Fox seeks to capitalize on the rising trends and interests of young audiences, potentially reshaping viewer engagement in this space.
