Sony Pictures Entertainment and Columbia Pictures decided to put the project in turnaround, essentially dropping out of the production and distribution obligations, leaving it available for any other studio to pick up. Universal Pictures, in the process, picked up the project, which isn't the first time that Universal has picked up a project put into turnaround by another studio, and the truth is that they are just coming off a very successful version of this maneuver. Dumb and Dumber To (2014) was originally set up at Warner Brothers, before being dropped, and Universal swooped in to make sure that the film got made. This paid off big, as the comedy opened to a solid thirty-six million dollars in its first three days. Picking up discarded projects hasn't always worked for the studio. Case in point: Kick-Ass 2 (2013), but there exists plenty of potential in the Steve Jobs biopic, and Universal seems to see it.
