Michael Keaton Starrer ‘The Founder’ Gets Release Date

The Founder which follows the origins of how McDonald’s rose up will be released on Nov. 25, 2016. Weinstein Co. has U.S. rights and will distribute. FilmNation and The Combine are producing. Pic stars Michael Keaton as Illinois salesman Ray Kroc who turned McDonald’s drive-through business into a national franchise, pushing the original owners, Mac and Dick McDonald completely out of the business. That Thanksgiving corridor has continually been a prime awards season launch date for TWC, having bowed such Oscar winning fare as The King’s Speech and The Imitation Game in the past.
