After an old-fashion, multi-day bidding war, Olivia Wilde‘s Sundance darling “The Invite” has sold to A24.
A24 and Focus Features were locked in a tense fight for rights to the relationship comedy after other interested buyers, like Neon, Netflix, Apple, Searchlight and new distributor Black Bear, backed out of negotiations. The sale is north of $12 million, according to sources familiar with the terms of the deal.
