Three Hollywood studios backed by Deutsche Bank (DBK.F) loans amounting to $950 million are currently facing default or foreclosure proceedings, London's Financial Times reported Friday, citing court records and people familiar with the matter.

Deutsche Bank did not immediately respond to a request for comment from.
