We have had a blast of news about Ryan Kavanaugh and his company Relativity’s financial woes. We knew the Natalie Portman western Jane Got A Gun was somehow going to be affected by Relativity’s uncertain circumstances. It appears that the Toronto based Catalyst Capital Group may not have officially signed on to help Relativity and that the news was merely a supposed report. With that in mind, who knows how much steadier things will be with Relativity and its staff.
It also doesn’t help that Kavanaugh and co. have missed their deadline. Investors gave Relativity an extension deadline for the company to get its act together. That time has just passed, and other investors are becoming weary of these repeating cycles with Kavanaugh. Reportedly, a wealthy investor even considered helping Relativity out just recently, only to jump ship after seeing the history of the company in depth. With Catalyst Capital Group’s uncertain deal and now this, Relativity is once again in a tight spot.
We were due for a blast of great Natalie news, but I didn't expect a new spread and interview. Okay, the interview is a bit brief (she seems proud,…

With the uncertain news about Relativity’s financial situation, the Natalie Portman Western Jane Got A Gun seemed doomed. However, there now seems to be some life within the company now with a possibly lucky strike. Toronto-founded Catalyst Capital Group are exactly what they sound like, and they have given Relativity $320 million to work with. This sum is to both get rid of the looming debt they have struggled with and to provide growth for the company for the near future.
CEO Ryan Kavanaugh is still in charge and has retained his role within the company. However, with this termination being resolved, he and the rest of Relativity still have to battle stilted production schedules and previous debt collecter woes. Kavanaugh has publicly had problems with Colbeck Capital, and until these debts are resolved, Relativity still has to answer to them. With a possible payment extension planned, maybe this, too, shall pass. However, with Colbeck’s full circle come around, hopefully we are not witnessing the start of another cycle with Catalyst Capital Group.

Relativity has had a financial struggle that is becoming somewhat of a confusion the past few days. As the story develops, it has become self contradictory as well. Essentially, Relativity has been issued ten days to fix their financial woes, as lenders have started to flex their muscles with their authority over any business decision Relativity is due to make. This sounds like the bottom of the barrel, but it also feels like the final fight to get things moving.
Or so it seemed, before Relativity CEO Ryan Kavanaugh and his representatives countered this headline shortly after. Both Kavanaugh and his reps have discredited this ten day mission and have gone on to say that they are nearing in on a deal with their lenders.
