Two of the biggest movie-making companies in the biz are at each other’s throats over the distribution rights to the movie The Crow.
Basically, Relativity owns the rights to the movie right now, but agreed to hand over the rights to the Weinstein Company so they could distribute it. The Weinstein Company claims Relativity reneged on the deal because they are still upset over what they call the “mishandling” of Nine, the last flick the two companies collaborated on.
So, Relativity is asking for $20 million in damages from Weinstein for Nine because it performed so poorly and they are refusing to hand over The Crow, claiming the studios lacks the $70 million necessary to release the film.
And what does the Weinstein Company have to say about this whole mess? Let’s check in with their lawyer Bert Fields and see! Bert says:
“The allegations of the motion are absolute garbage. This claim was about a totally different picture. It should have been made at the time of ‘Nine,’ not now because they broke the contract on ‘The Crow.’ It’s total hogwash, and I cant wait to get Mr. Kavanaugh on the witness stand.”
Someone’s all fired up!!! The fight is on!!!
But all this fuss over The Crow? Seriously? we know it has a pretty devote following, but c’mon? $70 million???
