The Weinstein Company is trying to unload Paddington 2
After the allegations against co-founder Harvey Weinstein came out, The Weinstein Company has basically been falling apart. It started removing its name from previously released movies and pulling upcoming movies from the schedule all to avoid associating them with Harvey Weinstein, and last month an investor deal that could’ve saved the company fell through. With the threat of bankruptcy now looming, Variety says The Weinstein Company is now hoping it can unload the U.S. rights to Paddington 2 and make a little bit of extra money before it has to file for Chapter 11. The film opened in the U.K. last weekend, where it made $10.8 million, so The Weinstein Company is reportedly hoping that’ll make its U.S. rights a bit more valuable.
