The producers of the upcoming drama “Hotel Mumbai” are trying to avoid getting roped into The Weinstein Co.’s bankruptcy fire sale.
According to court documents filed Monday by Hotel Mumbai PTY Ltd. in a Delaware bankruptcy court, producers for the upcoming fact-based thriller starring Armie Hammer and Dev Patel say they terminated the distribution deal with The Weinstein Co. in February, weeks before it filed for bankruptcy.
Representatives for The Weinstein Co. did not immediately return requests from TheWrap for comment.
The producers of the film dispute that “Hotel Mumbai” should still be considered an asset of The Weinstein Company that would be sold off in the bankruptcy in order to return money to creditors, according to their objection to motions the court will hear on Friday approving bidding procedures.
