TLK Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) Weinsteins have won the auction and they are committing at least $27 million with $20 million going for P&A. I think LGF would've been a much better option because they know how to open a movie. Maybe "a song" will be this year's Silver Linings Playbook. http://www.deadline.com/2013/09/toronto-can-a-song-save-your-life-strikes-chord-with-bidders-hitting-high-notes/#utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter 2ND UPDATE: After an all night auction, The Weinstein Company is nearing a deal to acquire U.S. rights to the John Carney-directed Can A Song Save Your Life? TWC is now in exclusive negotiations and I’m told they are tying down a deal that will land at around a $7 million minimum guarantee for U.S. rights with a P&A commitment of at least $20 million. They are working on the final numbers in what is a very strong deal for the film backed by Exclusive Media and Sycamore, and Exclusive is nearly done auctioning off the remaining foreign countries. There are going to be a lot of tired deal makers roaming around Toronto Sunday, as CAA, UTA and WME were all in the mix making all of these deals, with several bidders in the mix until the wee hours. These kinds of auctions don’t happen that often anymore, but John Carney made an exceptional movie with breakout potential if it is handled right and I’m not surprised so many distributors sparked to it the way they did. Coming in, it looked like Can A Song Save Your Life? and Bad Words would be the big money titles and they didn’t disappoint. Both went in big deals within hours of their premieres. There are still a lot of available titles and it will be interesting to see if the aggressive bidding continues with other pictures that premiere over the next few days. http://www.deadline.com/2013/09/toronto-can-a-song-save-your-life-strikes-chord-with-bidders-hitting-high-notes/#utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Edited September 8, 2013 by TLK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Futurist Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Fasten your wigs, people ! Dame Meryl enters the race officially tonight with the premiere of August at TIFF ! Prepare yourself for hyperbolic tweets : " Best performance ever in the history of best ever performances" Meryl reinvented acting" " Meryl deserves all the Oscahs !" " When Meryl dies, acting as a whole will die with her !" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
