2016 was not kind to EuropaCorp RED, the U.S. distribution arm of movie studio EuropaCorp. Though the studio had seen plenty of hits in the past by way of the Taken movies and Lucy, well, their forays into U.S. self-distribution had been an outright disaster. An attempt to reboot the Transporter movie in September 2015 got the studio off to a disastrous start and it'd be 11 whole months before they had another release, Nine Lives, which became a critical punching bag and a big box office dud. At least that Barry Sonnenfeld comedy grossed over $10 million, something that can't be said for their other two 2016 releases, Shut In and the underrated Miss Sloane.
