Lionsgate New Juneteenth Horror Film Draws Infringement Suit

Lionsgate Entertainment Corp. is facing a lawsuit alleging its upcoming release, “The Blackening,” infringes on copyrights held by the creator of the “Black Card Revoked” card game.

The game features a series of question and response cards relating to Black popular culture.
