A24 has acquired worldwide rights to "Sorry, Baby," a drama that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. The film, starring Eva Victor, Naomi Ackie, and Lucas Hedges, sparked a bidding war among independent studios, with the sale price around $8 million. "Sorry, Baby" follows a college professor recovering from sexual assault. It was written, directed, and starred in by comedian Eva Victor, and produced by Barry Jenkins, known for "Moonlight." The film received a standing ovation at its premiere. The Sundance market has been slow, with only two other films sold so far. Neon purchased "Together" for $10 million to $15 million, and Netflix acquired "Train Dreams." Several other notable titles remain unsold.
