Uh oh. With the last licensed movie from Eleven Arts being Blue Thermal from 2022 and then news like this I'm worried about them.

Actually, their last release was DEEMO Memorial Keys which was in 2023.

It's too bad about Eleven Arts because as much as I love GKids we need more than one US distributor putting out anime movies especially now with GKids owned by Toho.

All I remember hearing was that they were subjected to a hacking incident, but nothing else after that.

They ended up in a no-man's land. GKIDS has the ability to get titles into Oscar conversations and in the case of Heron, even do strong numbers at the U.S. box office. Sony has the ability to get their movies seen across multiple markets to decent results (if it's a franchise film). Netflix has the ability to get your film in front of a massive audience, while paying for an entire production's budget, multiple times over.
What could Eleven Arts do to combat that level of competition? Not much, so they'd be left with the movies no one else wanted. There aren't a tonne of anime films that aren't franchise tie-ins and there's going to be very few leftover after those three take their picks. How many of those movies are decent and marketable to a North American audience? It's the same reason you don't see Sentai or Viz acquire many movies.

Sad about Eleven Arts but I do have a lot of faith in GKIDS at least.
