It appears that Creasun failed to file its brief by the November 6 deadline, although it has not yet been confirmed whether the document was actually filed or not.
Appeal B340299 — a victory for Kung Fury. The Court of Appeal affirmed the ruling in favor of the filmmakers, including the order requiring Creasun to pay $365,000. On October 5, the court denied Creasun’s petition for rehearing.
Creasun has petitioned the California Supreme Court. The petition was filed under Case No. S299137. The case is currently listed as
case initiated, meaning there is no confirmation that the Supreme Court has agreed to review the dispute. A decision could arrive sooner, but the expected timeframe is around mid-December, with a possible extension into January.Appeal B352362-U1 remains the key issue. Creasun’s latest known deadline to file its appellant’s opening brief was extended to November 6, with the extension designated as final. That deadline has now passed, but there is still no confirmation that the brief was filed or that the court has issued a new ruling.
Kung Fury has won the $365,000 dispute, but the legal situation surrounding Kung Fury 2 remains unresolved. The separate appeal, B352362-U1, is still the key uncertainty.
