- Mubi acquired worldwide rights to "Making Marie Antoinette," a behind-the-scenes documentary about Sofia Coppola's Oscar-winning film "Marie Antoinette."
- Eleanor Coppola shot the documentary using roughly 80 hours of previously unseen footage from the original film's production.
- The project is timed to the 20th anniversary of Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette," which won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design.
