All the Films Sold at Sundance 2026 (and Their Price Tags)

by

For film lovers who aren’t ready to stop visiting Utah, the final Sundance Film Festival in Park City created unforgettable moments. However, the films showcased in 2026 haven’t been selling for high prices. Olivia Wilde’s The Invite did spark a competitive bidding war, with A24 ultimately winning the rights to distribute the movie. Overall, sales have been slow despite a week filled with premieres, parties, and demonstrations. Buyers still have time to make deals and determine which films might be contenders for awards. Last year, Train Dreams sold at Sundance and went on to receive an Oscar nomination for Best Picture. Here’s an updated list of all the movies sold at Sundance 2026 and their selling prices.

The Invite

Distributor: A24

Olivia Wilde directs and stars in this romantic comedy, playing the wife of Seth Rogen’s character. The film centers on a couple whose relationship is on the rocks when their free-spirited neighbors, Edward Norton and Penélope Cruz, unexpectedly join them for dinner – and chaos quickly ensues. The screenplay, by Will McCormack and Rashida Jones, is based on the 2019 Spanish film Sentimental, which was originally a stage play by Cesc Gay. Wilde actively campaigned for a traditional movie theater release, sparking a competitive bidding process among several studios including Focus Features, Netflix, Apple, Searchlight, Sony, and Black Bear.

Price: Eight figures (“north of” $12 million, per Variety)
Release date: To be announced

Adrian Chiarella’s new horror film centers on two teenage boys who fall in love, but are hunted by a terrifying creature that appears as their deepest desire—each other. Mia Wasikowska returns to acting with a role as one of the boys’ mothers.
