According to the LA Times,  Senator Distribution and Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group acquired the film as a co-venture because, 

"This is very much about chemistry: the right distributor for the
right film," said Senator President Mark Urman. "We saw the film Friday
night. It was edgy, daring and definitely not studio fare. But it was
polished, has great production values, and it defines the kind of
movies our company wants to do."

It is not a surprise that new distrib on the block Senator bought Brooklyn's Finest. Mike Jones is reporting "under $5 million" upfront plus a substantial 8-figure prints and ads commitment. For ex-ThinkFilm exec Mark Urman to buy this film, right at the start of the fest, tells the indie community loud and clear: we're in the market. All day the negotiations were about cuts and trims and losing the disastrous ending. So Antoine Fuqua realized, after the screening elicited hisses and not so great reviews, that he'd better let everyone know this is a work in progress, and he's ready to tweak. He wasn't before. He is now. There's a good movie in there. And it's marketable. Urman is planning a November awards campaign. Ethan Hawke could score. He's excellent in this.
