Deadline broke the news of this deal, which is great news for us but not necessarily for Sony. Sony had the film all set for release in December but GK Films, who is producing the adaption, felt that Thanksgiving was the best time to open the film. Sony didn’t want to open on that date because they already had a movie opening – the animated film Arthur Christmas – so they let Paramount take the reigns.
There’s surely more to it, such as the fact that Scorsese and GK Films head Graham King have a relationship with Brad Grey and Paramount but it still smells a little fishy.
Which of those five films will you see first on November 23?
