Apatow will produce via his Apatow Productions banner, alongside Barry Mendel (“Bridesmaids”). Apatow’s last directing effort was “This Is 40,” which took in $67 million domestically and $88 million worldwide for Universal in 2012.
At this point, “Trainwreck” is the only movie scheduled to open on that weekend. However, Warner Bros.’ Batman vs. Superman movie from Zack Snyder is scheduled to open the week before, and Disney and Marvel’s “Ant-Man” will open the following week.
