Alongside New Regency, Sarah Green and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones are producing through Tri-State, the company they share with Nichols.

Following Amazon’s dating of Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn for November 24, with an expansion on December 1, it’s another great sign by studios that the release calendar isn’t getting erased and capsized; many Oscar-bait titles are being pushed further or to TBD due to the current SAG-AFTRA strike.

Also on December 1 among specialty titles this year is Neon’s Anne Hathaway suspense feature, Eileen.
