Vertical Entertainment, the Santa Monica-based distributor run by Rich Goldberg and Mitch Budin, will handle US theatrical distribution starting on June 3.
In keeping with Vertical’s broader distribution philosophy, Approaching The Unknown will go out day-and-date digitally and on VOD via Paramount Home Media Distribution.
Paramount will handle other US ancillary platforms and worldwide distribution excluding Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Middle East, and South Africa.
