A federal judge has dismissed a breach-of-contract case filed by the Weinstein Co. against the producers of “Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire,” ruling that TWC’s lawsuit failed to state a valid legal claim that it was entitled to distribute the award-winning movie.
The legal brouhaha started when the Weinstein Co. lost the bidding war over “Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire” following its premiere at January’s Sundance Film Festival. In four lawsuits filed between TWC, Lionsgate and the film’s producers, Smokewood Entertainment Group, Weinstein alleged that “Precious” sales agent John Sloss really sold the film first to TWC, and then sold it again to Lionsgate when it came along with a richer deal.
