According to Deadline, Ticket to Paradise came together quickly through Working Title, with streamers circling in. But Universal’s top authorities denied its straight to streaming release, as they are in the theatrical movie business, and this one will not travel to OTT. The decision comes in a tough time when film studios are giving away many big releases to streamers as the reopening of major cinemas is still uncertain due to coronavirus or COVID-19 pandemic. The upcoming project will be overseen by Senior Executive Vice President of Production Erik Baiers and Director of Development Lexi Barta on behalf of Universal.
