Open Road Films is relaunching its film operations after it was acquired by Raven Capital Management in 2018, and the distribution label is kicking things off at the Cannes Virtual Market with plans to release a Liam Neeson thriller called “Honest Thief.”
Capitalized by Raven, the New York private equity firm founded by Josh Green, and led by Raven Principal James Masciello with key support from Matt Sidari, Open Road Films will resume acquiring and releasing films theatrically in partnership with Tom Ortenberg’s Briarcliff Entertainment. Ortenberg previously was CEO of Open Road Films between 2011 to 2017.
Mark Williams directs “Honest Thief,” and the film will be released theatrically later this summer.
