Sony Pictures Classics rescues 'Poetic License' after Row K's $5.5–7M deal collapsed

Row K Entertainment acquired Maude Apatow's directorial debut 'Poetic License' out of TIFF for $5.5–7 million, per Deadline (23 March 2026). That payment never materialised. Row K collapsed under unpaid bills within a year. WME Independent re-sold worldwide rights to Sony Pictures Classics, which will release the film theatrically in 2027, per Variety (4 August 2026).
