What Happened to Row K? From Splashy Acquisitions to a $110,000 Opening

Row K Entertainment, an indie distributor co-founded by Christopher Woodrow, made a splash with acquisitions at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) last September. The company aimed to make around $80 million in deals, picking up four films: "Charlie Harper," "Dead Man's Wire," "Poetic License," and "Cliffhanger." However, their latest acquisition, "Charlie Harper," only managed to open with $110,000 at just one theater after its domestic release at 650 screens.
