Moreover, one woman who works at the Weinstein Company described an operation in chaos on Friday, with phones going unanswered and some staff members in revolt. Nicole Quenqua, formerly the company’s top spokeswoman, said she was no longer giving company statements to reporters.

Over the past week, the Weinstein Company has been at the center of a widening crisis involving Mr. Weinstein’s brother, Harvey. Investigations by The New York Times and The New Yorker revealed sexual harassment and rape allegations against Harvey Weinstein going back decades.

Harvey Weinstein, who has denied “any allegations of non-consensual sex,” was fired on Sunday by Weinstein Company board members, which include his brother. Several other members of the all-male board have quit, including Dirk Ziff, a billionaire investor; Marc Lasry, owner of the Milwaukee Bucks and chief executive of Avenue Capital Group, an investment firm; Tim Sarnoff, president of production services and deputy chief executive of Technicolor; and Richard Koenigsberg, an accountant, who resigned on Thursday.

The Weinstein Company, with roughly 150 staff members in New York and Los Angeles, has assets that are potentially worth hundreds of millions of dollars. It includes a television unit anchored by series like “Project Runway.” A theatrical division has seven completed films, including “The Current War,” a period drama about the rivalry between Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse starring Benedict Cumberbatch, who said in a statement on Tuesday that he was “utterly disgusted” by Mr. Weinstein’s “horrifying and unforgivable actions.”

As Hollywood has distanced itself from the company — Apple ended plans for a series produced by the Weinstein Company, for instance, and other network partners have considered similar action — questions have mounted about whether the studio can continue. On Thursday, bankruptcy speculation surfaced in Variety. On Friday, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Weinstein Company was “exploring a sale or shutdown.”
