The La-based outfit has acquired North America and most international rights to the Chilean mine collapse survival story and will channel the Us release via its Warner Bros output deal on November 13.
Warner Bros will distribute across the bulk of international markets after lead producer Mike Medavoy concluded what he called “amicable” talks with Good Universe to take back the rights.
Fox International handles Latin America, while Chinese distribution will be set between Alcon and a Chinese party that made an investment in the project.
Patricia Riggen directed the drama starring Antonio Banderas, Juliette Binoche, Mario Casas, Lou Diamond Phillips, Rodrigo Santoro, Gabriel Byrne and James Brolin.
The 33 is based on true events surrounding the 69-day ordeal of a group of mostly Chilean miners trapped more than 200 stories below ground in 100 degree heat. As the world watched, every miner was eventually rescued.
Banderas plays Mario Sepulveda, the miner who became known as ‘Super Mario’ for his...

David Ondaatje has signed on to direct a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's first film, The Lodger, for Sony Pictures Entertainment. Re-imagined as an urban thriller set in Los Angeles, the film marks Ondaatje's directorial debut.
Sony has not yet determined which of its labels will release Lodger or if the film will bow straight to video.
Michael Mailer will produce alongside Ondaatje, who also adapted the screenplay from Marie Belloc Lowndes' novel. The novel served as the basis for Hitchcock's 1927 film.
Lodger is based on the true story of the hysteria caused by the Jack the Ripper's killing spree that took place over several weeks in 1888. Ondaatje's adaptation is broken into two converging plot lines set in present-day Los Angeles. The first involves an uneasy relationship between a psychologically unstable landlady and her enigmatic lodger, and the second is about a troubled detective engaged in a cat-and-mouse game with an unknown killer.
Ondaatje is repped by attorney Scott Edel.
