Hyped for this. Ritchie’s last few have been fun as hell.

 

I guess making a billion dollar movie for Disney let’s you do whatever you want in Hollywood

FYI, don't be shocked if this is sold off along with all of STX's catalog.  They are flat broke and can't afford to release any films at this point.  The last small amount of money they had melted away last week.  Right now they are seeking a buyer or outside investment to keep going.  

 

They're done unless someone saves them soon.  Most of the staff has been fired or laid off.

Oh damn. I honestly thought they were doing ok in the mid market movie area. The Gentlemen and Wrath of Man seemed to do well for them

 

Just my own 2 cents, I bet they sell off Chris Pine's The Contractor but release this theatrically. I think this has potential to do as well as the aforementioned Guy Ritchie STX films

 

EDIT: I always forget Wrath of Man was MGM, not STX

Any word on what happened to this?

 

August/September is straight up dead. This could over perform there.

It's caught up in their bankruptcy / sale.

None more so than Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham’s action-comedy Operation Fortune: Ruse De Guerre, which has been ready for some time. We understand the film is now most likely to head to a streamer for domestic. We understand there has been back and forth between Miramax, Lionsgate and STX about the film’s domestic release, with neither Miramax or STX keen to be on the hook for sizeable P&A. A theatrical launch was initially the plan via STX but the company couldn’t fulfil that obligation following its downsizing. Lionsgate did at some point show willing to release the movie – a January launch was once mooted but that would have jutted up against Gerard Butler action pic Plane (which we hear is solid). We hear that Miramax is ultimately seeking a high-dollar U.S. streaming deal.  

 

The film’s international distributors — who played a key role in getting the movie financed – have been waiting patiently to get the movie out. We understand they are now tired of waiting and will start their launches from January, even if it means going ahead of the domestic release. 

 

It hasn’t been plain sailing for Operation Fortune, which already had to change its name from Five Eyes — the name of a western intelligence organisation — due to concerns about how that would play in China. Then a plotline involving Ukrainian mobsters became a minor headache after the Russian invasion. We’re assured this was a minor sticking point and re-edits weren’t needed, despite press reports to the contrary.
