A subsidiary of film finance and distribution company FilmNation is suing The Weinstein Company for $15 million, claiming the independent studio violated an agreement by releasing its film “Gold” just one week after “The Founder.” According to the lawsuit, Speedee Distribution, a wholly owned subsidiary of FilmNation, entered into an agreement with TWC in November 2015 to co-finance and distribute “The Founder,” a film about the life of McDonalds founder Ray Kroc starring Michael Keaton in the title role.
