In the first acquisition on the Cannes market, Focus has landed the rights to survival thriller Last Breath.

Nope

Megalopolis got the expected divisive reactions out of Cannes with the only common overlap between the two sides pointing out just how weird it is. Gauging the reactions once its regular rollout begins in the fall should be entertaining.

While the presence of Kristen Stewart and Steven Yuen in the cast is certainly largely responsible for its acquisition, it's still shocking that perhaps the worst reviewed title outside of the Midn...

Agree with six on all 4 titles. The Strangers has gotten a decent push by Lionsgate's standards with some successful viral marketing stunts and ad placements during NBA playoff broadcasts, but I doubt that will be enough for it to exceed its high single digit tracking figures.
