Film markets and the rights trade
A film's path does not end at the screening. Sales agents, acquisition executives, and independent producers close deals in the market halls long before most audiences see a title, and the terms they strike shape what gets made and where it plays.
We track territory rights, theatrical release commitments, streaming licensing, and project packages, documenting the financing and foreign sales slates that define each market cycle.
Three streams we follow
International sales hubs
Coverage of the Marché du Film, EFM, and AFM, where sales agents present slates and territories are pre-sold.
Package financing announcements
Director attachments, financing structures, and foreign sales slate announcements, tracked as projects move toward production.
Theatrical distribution windows
Theatrical release commitments and streaming licensing deals, and how each window shapes a film's reach.
