AMC Entertainment has announced the formation of distribution company Leawood Films, based in Los Angeles and Leawood, Kansas. Leawood Films plans to bring primarily completed or producer-financed small- and mid‑budget films to theaters, honoring PVOD and SVOD windows of at least 45 and 90 days respectively, and leaving the bulk of downstream revenues and IP rights with the filmmakers. Toby Emmerich, Ricky Strauss and Kyle Davies have been named as advisors; AMC will partner with Variance Films for North America and Piece of Magic Entertainment internationally. Initial releases are not expected before 2027 or 2028; the new business is intended to complement, not replace, existing studio partnerships. » More on de.investing.com
