The phrase doing the work here is 'theatrical opportunities.' A specialty label is a bet that certain films still belong in a room full of strangers rather than a queue, and that bet only pays off if the label keeps signing.
A stated purpose is not a track record. One filmmaker and one film with a teased date tell us the label exists; whether 'theatrical' turns out to mean a real run or a token week is the open question.
