Beckinsale stars in the 1790s-set film as widow Lady Susan Vernon, who goes to live on her in-laws’ estate amid colorful rumors about her social life. It is there that she decides to find husbands for herself and her daughter, Frederica.
Amazon acquired North American rights to the pic last summer, but the partnership with Roadside means it will also hit cinemas. The companies inked a similar deal for the theatrical release of Spike Lee’s Chi-raq, which premiered Dec. 4 in theaters before becoming available for rental or purchase on Amazon.
Love & Friendship is making its premiere in Park City, Utah, on Saturday.
