After haggling with The Weinstein Co. in bankruptcy court over distribution rights, the producers of “Hotel Mumbai” are finally free to take the fact-based thriller to another studio.
According to court documents filed on Friday, Lantern Entertainment, which bought TWC out of bankruptcy for $310 million in May, has agreed to relinquish distribution rights to the film, acquired in the sale.
The film was listed as a “top title” in Lantern’s sale agreement.
Starring Armie Hammer and Dev Patel, “Hotel Mumbai” is based on the 2009 documentary “Surviving Mumbai,” about the 2008 terrorist attacks at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Mumbai that lasted four days, killing 164 people and wounding more than 300.
