Global Road Entertainment is an American film production and distribution company based in Los Angeles, California. It was launched in March 2011 as Open Road Films by the two largest American theatrical exhibitors, AMC Theatres and Regal Entertainment Group, who both owned the company as a joint venture until it was acquired by Tang Media Partners, a media company owned by Donald Tang, in August 2017. After Tang's purchase, Open Road and IM Global were renamed to its current name.[1]

Company history

Open Road Films

In March 2011, rival theater chains AMC Entertainment and Regal Entertainment Group announced the hiring of Tom Ortenberg as Chief Executive Officer of their new production company, Open Road Films. Ortenberg, previously an executive of Lionsgate and The Weinstein Company,[2] filled out his executive team with the April 2011 hirings of Jason Cassidy (president of marketing), Elliott Kleinberg (General Counsel and executive vice president of operations and business affairs), Steven Andriuzzo (chief financial officer), and Ben Cotner (senior vice president of acquisitions).[3]

Open Road's titles are distributed in the home entertainment market by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment (UPHE), a deal that was signed in June 2011.[4] In June 2011, a few months after it started operations, Open Road Films signed a pay-TV deal with Netflix,[5] which expired in 2016.

The studio released its first film, Killer Elite, on September 23, 2011, directed by Gary McKendry and starring Jason Statham, Clive Owen and Robert De Niro.[6] Open Road's 2015 film Spotlight received six Academy Award nominations and became the surprise winner for Best Picture at the 88th Academy Awards, also winning for Best Original Screenplay. These were the first Oscar wins for the company.[7]

In October 2013, the studio signed a pay-TV deal with Showtime that began in 2017 and expires in 2020.[8] Open Road and UPHE extended its home distribution deal in February 2014 through 2017.[9]

On October 30, 2014, Open Road announced an international deal with FilmNation Entertainment. The deal would allow the company purchase worldwide rights and FilmNation selling and servicing international distribution.[10]

Global Road Entertainment

Open Road Films was purchased by Tang Media Partners in August 2017.[11] Rob Friedman joined Tang Media Partners in August 2017 as chairman and CEO of TMP Entertainment to oversee Open Road, IM Global and IM Global TV.[12] Open Road Films and fellow TMP Entertainment units were renamed to Global Road Entertainment on October 30, 2017 with Friedman assuming the Global Road chairman and CEO posts.[1]

In 2017, the company announced plans to have a slate of approximately 15 films per year by 2020.[13][14] At the European Film Market in February 2018, Global Road announced that it anticipated spending $1 billion on film and television productions over the next three years,[15] with production budgets projected to be in the $20 million to $100 million range.[15] In 2018, the company made an agreement with Blumhouse Productions to co-develop and co-finance low budget Chinese language genre films.[16]

Global Road's 2018 film distibution slate includes the teen drama Midnight Sun, starring Bella Thorne and Patrick Schwarzenegger;[17] family comedy Show Dogs, starring Will Arnett;[17] science fiction thriller The Silence, which it acquired for US distribution;[18] the action-thriller Hotel Artemis, starring Jodie Foster and Sterling K. Brown;[19] science fiction family adventure A.X.L.;[20] and animated family adventure-comedy Playmobil: Uncharted.[20]

Upcoming Global Road productions include Serenity, a neo-noir thriller starring Anne Hathaway, Matthew McConaughey, Diane Lane and directed by Steven Knight;[14] Richard Says Goodbye, a comedy-drama starring Johnny Depp and directed by Wayne Roberts;[14] the science-fiction romance Zoe, starring Ewan McGregor;[14][21] and Mortal, directed by André Øvredal.[14] The company's film I Think We're Alone Now, starring Peter Dinklage, Elle Fanning and Paul Giamatti, premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.[22]

Global Road's television arm develops scripted and non-scripted programming for both U.S. and global markets. Shows being developed include Cat's Cradle, a limited series based on the novel by Kurt Vonnegut, being written and executive produced by Noah Hawley for FX; Kilroy County, a dark comedy from Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor being developed for Showtime; Jenji Kohan's Lifetime drama American Princess;[23] Muscle Shoals, a drama in development at ABC with Johnny Depp as executive producer;[24][25] the eight-part crime drama Cold Courage, based on the novels by Pekka Hiltunen;[26] Fried Chicken and Latkes, an adaptation of Rain Pryor's one-woman comedy show;[27] Jett, a crime drama starring and executive produced by Carla Gugino for Cinemax;[28] the reality cooking competition Fridge Wars for Canada 's CBC network;[29] and global rights to Idiotest, based on the Game Show Network quiz show.[30]

In January 2018, Global Road signed a development deal with Reginald Hudlin and Byron Phillips through their company New Nation Networks, under which Hudlin and Phillips would develop and produce original content for Global Road.[31] Later that month, the company signed a first-look television deal with Adam Shankman and Jennifer Gibgot's production company Offspring Entertainment;[25] projects announced under this deal include Wolfgang, based on the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and an untitled comedy from husband-and-wife actor-producers Carlos and Alexa PenaVega.[25] Around the same time, Global Road also announced co-development deals with France production company Newen and the Ukraine FILM.UA Group.[29]

Global Road's film unit was taken over by its primary lenders, Bank of America and East West Bank, in August 2018 as Tang had not raised enough funds for Global Road. Lenders did have Global Roads release A.X.L. while stopping the release of "City of Lies" slated for September 7, 2018.[32][33] With A.X.L. not doing well at the box office, the company was forced to layoff employees without severance, a requirement of the lenders. The company was also looking to sell a number of its upcoming films, City of Lies, The Silence and Playmobil; it was also 'backing out of' development for The Secret Garden.[32] The company was also sued along with TV rights distributor Miramax by lender Bank Leumi over loans for City of Lies.[34]

On September 6, 2018, Global Road's film unit filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.[35] On October 23, 2018, Global Road filed with the court plans for an auction its assets beginning November 7th with a stalking horse bidder selected with term of $800,000 in expenses coverage and a $2.1 million outbid fee if approve by the judge.[36]

Management

In August 2017, Rob Friedman was named Global Road's chairman and CEO.[37][18] Rodolphe Buet was named president of international in October 2017,[14] and the following month Lynn Harris was named president of worldwide production.[38][39] In early 2018, Jack Pan was named president of worldwide theatrical marketing.[40]

In March 2018, the company announced several new hires to their international operations division, including Charlotte Van Weede as President of International Sales (replacing Michael Rothstein); Brad Kembel as Executive Vice President of Distribution and Operations; Melissa Martinez as Executive Vice President of International Marketing; and Sarah Genazzani as Director of International Marketing, with Executive Vice President of International Sales Tatyana Joffe extending her contract to work with the new team.[41]
