Village Roadshow förlikas med Warner Bros om stämningen rörande Matrix Resurrections för 57 miljoner dollar

9 maj 2026

Rapporterad av AI

Village Roadshow har betalat 57 miljoner dollar till Warner Bros Discovery för att lösa en långvarig tvist gällande 2021 års film The Matrix Resurrections. Uppgörelsen avslutar flera år av juridiska strider som inleddes under covid-19-pandemin.

Överenskommelsen nåddes efter att Village Roadshow, som ansökte om konkursskydd enligt Chapter 11 förra året, kommit överens med Warner Bros Discovery i Los Angeles Superior Court. Warner Bros hade tidigare vunnit en dom på 125 miljoner dollar som senare reducerades efter överklagan, där det slutgiltiga beloppet omformulerades till skadestånd för obetalda samfinansieringsåtaganden från filmproduktionen.
