Since it was founded two years ago, Red Envelope invested in more than 100 films and partnered on key acquisitions for small distributors. Some of its acquisitions include the war documentary “No End in Sight” with Magnolia Pictures, and the romantic comedy “Two Days in Paris” with Samuel Goldwyn Pictures.
