Is this the first film that a studio basically had to be bullied into releasing instead of just burying for a tax break?
Essentially. WB shelved it. Then after the backlash, reversed their decision and tried selling to other studios and streamers but were apparently asking for about $115m to sell it. Eventually Ketchup Entertainment, who are releasing the film next year, bought it for $50m.
I hope it makes tons of money.
