Rhythm & Hues reportedly receives $20m cash injection

Industry website The Wrap is reporting that visual effects studio Rhythm & Hues is to receive an ’emergency $20 million capital infusion from three major Hollywood studios in order to keep its doors open through April’, citing three sources with knowledge of the situation. The publication is also reporting that Rhythm & Hues may be sold to Prime Focus, the Indian-based visual effects and post-production company.
