  • Goldove Entertainment claims that it lost $4 million in marketing costs after its distribution partner on 'Lumina' failed to follow through on getting the film into enough theaters.

The article from The Hollywood Reporter discusses a lawsuit filed by Lumina, a company that provides digital asset management services, against its former CEO, Scott Grimes, and his new venture, Iconik. Lumina alleges that Grimes, along with other former employees, misappropriated trade secrets and confidential information to develop Iconik, which offers a competing product. The lawsuit claims that Grimes used Lumina's resources, including its customer list and proprietary software code, to give Iconik an unfair market advantage. Furthermore, Lumina accuses Grimes of breaching his fiduciary duties by planning his new business while still employed at Lumina.
