United Artists, Amazon MGM & Steven Spielberg’s ‘Mandela Catalogue’ Sets Summer 2028 Release

United Artists, Amazon MGM Studios, and Steven Spielberg’s Amblin will release "The Mandela Catalogue" on June 9, 2028, a statement was made on Friday. The film will be directed by creator of the YouTube series Alex Kister, who adapted the screenplay with Tyler Clifton. The rights were acquired through an intense bidding war involving 11 studios, and the terms were negotiated by Amazon MGM Studios and Sarah Vacchiano for United Artists.

The YouTube series, of the same name, has garnered over 100 million views, solidifying its place as a leading original analog horror franchise on the platform, alongside "Local 58" and "The Backrooms." Steven Spielberg and Holly Bario will serve as producers for Amblin Entertainment, while Aaron B. Koontz, Scott Stuber, and Nick Nesbitt will handle production for Paper Street Pictures, United Artists, and their respective companies.

Kister and Clifton will also take on the producer roles. Annie McCreery will be responsible for overseeing the project at United Artists, while Maria Fortese will manage the endeavor for Amblin Entertainment.
