Although the studio had some minor critical successes with films like Sunshine Cleaning, Last Chance Harvey, Law Abiding Citizen, and The Men Who Stare At Goats, the company had happened to suffer poor box office returns, and Starz had closed the company in 2010,[3] even though rumors circulated early that year that it would be sold off.[4] Its marketing and distribution assets are now handled by Relativity Media.[1][2][5]
