The Beverly Hills studio, which owes at least $320 million, has been trying to come up with the money to pay lenders but is expected to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as soon as Wednesday, according to a person familiar with the matter who was unauthorized to speak publicly.
A spokesman for Relativity, which has about 350 employees, declined to comment.
