Lionsgate Films and The Weinstein Co. have filed lawsuits in Los Angeles and New York claiming they had an agreement with producers to distribute Push: Based on a Novel by Sapphire.

It is being reported that Weinstein had a “firm agreement” with the film’s producers and that Lionsgate interfered. However, Lionsgate claims the producers signed a written agreement stating they had no written or verbal agreement with Weinstein.

The film in question tells the story of a young, illiterate woman who is the victim of incest and trying to find her way in 1980s Harlem.
