Village Roadshow is suing Warner Bros. over TheMatrixResurrections' HBOMax streaming release.
✖ Village Roadshow has filed a lawsuit against Warner Bros. over The Matrix Resurrections' streaming release on HBO Max, according to The Wall Street Journal. The studio studios have a long working relationship and co-produced The Matrix Resurrections. However, Village Roadshow Entertainment Group now claims in a new lawsuit that releasing The Matrix Resurrections simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max was a breach of contract on Warner Bros. Pictures' part.
"As detailed in the complaint, Village Roadshow's copyright ownership gave it the most sought-after rights in Hollywood: the perpetual right to co-create, co-invest and co-own the derivative rights to extremely successful tent pole films and franchises," Mark Holscher, a Kirkland & Ellis litigation partner representing Village Roadshow, said in a statement.
