All they had to do was call “The Howard Stern Show”. Howard could have gotten this done in a day and there would have been no need for the film.
There is maybe 200 k total is the deals above. This is news? Seriously? That’s a pathetic “round up” of Cannes deals.
not to mention all the “new cannes deals” being reported that actually happened months ago.
one deal was announced by stuart kemp in thr int’l from cannes,as just happening, when he’d already reported the lionsgate uk deal on march 10 in the same publication.
i guess someone from lionsgate uk was sitting on the majestic terrace spooning it out…high profile acquisitions blah blah
in his defense, variety and screendaily reported the same deal as brand new
all i got to say is: UN-CANNEY
welcome to the new and improved entertainment industry.
