Jennifer Lawrence's latest film ‘Die My Love' secures $24 million global distribution deal
Jennifer Lawrence's latest film 'Die My Love' has secured a $24 million global distribution deal.
It marks the largest acquisition at this year's Cannes film market, with the multi-territory agreement struck by streaming service Mubi and includes North American rights to the feature, which also stars Robert Pattinson.
According to Variety, it was also brokered by 193, a new sales company launched by Legendary and headed by industry veteran Patrick Wachsberger.
The company brought 'Die My Love', directed by Lynn Ramsey, to Cannes as part of its inaugural slate.
It premiered in competition at the festival and in a statement about the distribution deal struck on the back of its showing at the festival, Patrick said: 'Securing global sales on four high-profile films, one of which having already had a successful premiere, affirms the strength of our storytelling and the trust our global partners have placed in us. This is a fantastic start for our company and a signal of the compelling projects we will continue to deliver.'
Sales for 'Die My Love' extended far beyond the Mubi deal, with rights sold in the Baltics, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, the Middle East, Mongolia, the Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Scandinavia and Serbia, Croatia and Montenegro, among other territories.
Also included in 193's Cannes slate was 'Scandalous!', a biographical romance depicting the relationship between Kim Novak and Sammy Davis Jr.
The film marks the directorial debut of Colman Domingo and stars Sydney Sweeney and David Jonsson.
It sold to distributors in Australia, New Zealand, Greece, Spain, the U.K. and others.
'The Surgeon', written and directed by oncologist-turned-filmmaker Roshan Sethi and starring Michelle Yeoh, also found buyers across multiple territories.
Roshan reunites with Patrick and producer Basil Iwanyk following their previous collaboration on 'John Wick'. Distribution deals were confirmed for Australia and New Zealand, Israel, South Africa and the Philippines.
Finally, the reimagining of the cult classic 'The Toxic Avenger', a dark comedy starring Peter Dinklage, Kevin Bacon and Elijah Wood, was picked up in several major territories.
These include Germany and Austria, Japan, Italy and Britain.

Tom Daley talks of 'lonely experience' as a gay athlete
Tom Daley had a "very lonely experience" as a closeted athlete. The 31-year-old diver has now been married to Hollywood director Dustin Lance Black, 50, since 2017 but endured some personal struggles before disclosing his sexuality to the world in his late teens, and wants to help those in a similar position to him avoid ending up in a "dangerous" place. He told Variety: "They don't know what to do, how to navigate and obviously coming out in certain places is a very different experience than coming out in the UK or the US, so it can be quite dangerous. "I always say to them that I can be there as a sounding board just because it is a very lonely experience." Daley- whose father Robert died from a brain tumour in 2011 at the age of 40 - has sons Robbie, six, as well as two-year-old Phoenix with his husband and admitted that losing his dad was one of the "most difficult" things he has ever had to go through but still takes inspiration from his dad when it comes to his parenting style. He said: "I model lots of my parenting and lots of the things that I do every day around what I learned from my dad. He my biggest cheerleader. He was there for every training session, every competition, and he was a huge part of my life, day in, day out. "Losing him was one of the most difficult things that I ever had to deal with. "Yet I was dealing with that in a very public way in the UK. Looking back on all of that footage was quite challenging to watch because I felt really sorry for the younger Tom that I kind of was just carrying on and putting on a brave face, and I didn't ever want to bother anyone with how I was feeling because I didn't want to ever make anyone else feel uncomfortable." The Olympian has discussed his life and career at length in the new documentary, Tom Daley: 1.6 Seconds, but admitted that he initially had reservations about speaking about such personal things on camera. He said: "I wasn't sure about doing it initially. You know what? This is something that I would love to be able to then show my kids in the future and be able to be like, 'Look, this is what Papa did. This is the thing that Papa was doing day in, day out' And the things that I did, and be able to get to know the relationship I had with my dad and all of that stuff."
