Corday Productions, producers of the Emmy-winning daytime drama, “Days of our Lives” has filed a breach of contract lawsuit its producing partner, Sony Pictures Television, Columbia Pictures and Screen Gems. The soap’s producers are seeking damages of over $20 million and to take back significant control of the show, Deadline reports. According to the Corday’s lawsuit states “While the domestic ratings for Days of Our Lives have remained largely constant, Sony’s distribution receipts have decreased by over 50%,” reads the complaint. “This dramatic decline is directly attributable to a decision at the highest levels of Sony management to eliminate any competition to its own wholly-owned Series The Young and The Restless also distributed by Sony.”
“Days of our Lives” airs weekdays on NBC.
