By Christine Zosche 

Woody Allen has settled his breach of contract lawsuit against Amazon, which canceled a four-picture deal with the filmmaker amid the #MeToo movement. (Variety)

In February, Allen brought the suit against Amazon over the shelved release of his already completed film, A Rainy Day In New York, and the termination of the deal amid increased scrutiny into allegations that he sexually abused his adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow, when she was 7 years old in 1992.

The Allen lawsuit claimed Amazon knew of the allegations and owed him $68 million in guaranteed payments. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed, but sources close to the situation said, “there were no winners in this in the end.” (Deadline)
