“The Bronze” Will Come Out After All Thanks to Sony Pictures Classics

December 10, 2015

Something tells us that we’ll be feeling the effects of Relativity’s collapse for awhile.

Originally, the raucous gymnastics comedy The Bronze was all set for a release date with Relativity Media. 

You might have heard that Relativity then did not have a great 2015. So, many films were and still are in limbo including the highly anticipated heist comedy Masterminds starring Zach Galifianakis.

Luckily, Sony Pictures Classics has rescued The Bronze with Melissa Rauch and is set a limited release on Mar. 18th.

Hopefully, more of Relativity’s former slate of releases will be as fortunate.

Sony Pictures Classics Saves “The Bronze” and Will Release It

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?

“The Bronze” Is the Latest To Have Its Release Postponed at Relativity

The dark gymnastics comedy joins Masterminds in film purgatory.

With Relativity Media being in such deep financial trouble that they’re up for a bankruptcy auction, they’ve had to indefinitely push back the release of more films, one of which is the indie dark comedy The Bronze following a jaded former star gymnast starring Melissa Rauch.

The more films that get postponed as the weeks past, the more we wonder if we’ll ever get to see any of these movies at all.

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.
