That’s one movie saved, plenty more to go.

The dust is starting to settle from Relativity Media filing for bankruptcy and many of its upcoming releases being postponed indefinitely.

The Bronze starring and co-written by Melissa Rauch was one such movie that, as of last week, we had no idea if it would come out in theaters.

Now, Sony Pictures Classics has now got its hand on the film and plans on releasing it, hopefully in the not so distant future.

Perhaps, they’ll snatch up Masterminds too?

Ironically enough, a movie about robbery is being put on hold because the company that’s releasing it has filed for bankruptcy.

You have might caught wind that Relativity Media, the company that was set to release the highly anticipated heist comedy Masterminds, has filed Chapter 11.

As a consequence, the film won’t be coming out in mid October as originally planned. A new release date hasn’t been announced, but one is supposedly coming for 2015.

Given the strokes of bad luck that has befallen Relativity, don’t be surprised if we have to wait until 2016 to see Galifianakis’ next film.

Instead of hitting theaters on Aug. 19th, look for Masterminds on Oct. 9th.

Relativity Media, the company releasing the heist comedy Masterminds, is working on mitigating their debt through an equity firm.

Maybe we’ll get to hear more about Galifianakis’ Baskets at FX in the meantime? Before the Oct. release, you’ll definitely be able to see Kristen Wiig in The Spoils Before Dying on IFC.

Comedies From 2015 Sundance That You Might Have a Chance To See in Theaters

This year’s Sundance Film Festival has distributors combing through the big bills in their wallets for comedy/dramedy.

Even though, Me And Earl And The Dying Girl ended up not setting a buy record at the festival, it still carried a decently sized price tag in the mid 7 figure range.

Other films that might potentially rule the specialty box office and beyond this year include:

–Kevin Pollak’s documentary Misery Loves Comedy acquired by Tribeca Film.

–The D Train with Jack Black, James Marsden, Kathryn Hahn, Jeffrey Tambor, Mike White, and Kyle Bornheimer bought up by IFC Films for $3 million.

-The world rights for Results from Andrew Bujalski, the man who brought Computer Chess into the world, acquired by Magnolia Pictures.

–The North American rights to Don Verdean with Sam Rockwell, Danny McBride, Leslie Bibb, Jemaine Clement, Will Forte, and Amy Ryan from Jared Hess acquired by Lionsgate.

–The U.S. rights to The Bronze starring and co-written by Melissa Rauch acquired by Relativity for $3 million.

–The Overnight produced by The Duplass Brothers and Adam & Naomi Scott’s Gettin’ Rad bought up by The Orchard for $4 million.

–The world rights to Tangerine, also produced by The Duplass Brothers, acquired by Magnolia Pictures.

–Dope with Zoe Kravitz, the voice of Forest Whitaker, Blake Anderson, and more bought up by Open Road Films and Sony Pictures for $7 million.

–Mistress America from Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig bought up by Fox Searchlight for $6.5 million before it even played at the festival.

It’s inevitable that we’ll all be obsessing over their trailers in the coming months.
