Relativity Studios has quietly removed three of its titles from the release calendar, a signal that the bankrupt studio has no plans to debut the films until after it is sold at auction.
“The Disappointments Room,” a horror film with Kate Beckinsale, and “Before I Wake,” another horror film with Kate Bosworth, were both slated for Sept. 25, 2015. Raunchy comedy “The Bronze” was previously scheduled for an Oct. 16, 2015 launch. All are now listed as “unset.”
