Relativity Media has secured $400 million in new equity financing for its film slate from Los Angeles-based Maple Leaf Films, the companies announced Wednesday.
Maple Leaf is headed by Tove Christensen and Michael Wexler, a division of Maple Leaf Capital Group that principally handles real estate and hedge funds. The investment will contribute 75 percent of funds for Relativity films chosen by the company’s new creative leader Dana Brunetti over the next five years, according to the studio.
“We are excited to have the support of Michael and Tove as we continue to identify, develop and produce groundbreaking films,” a Relativity spokesperson said.
