- Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions secured rights in a host of international markets to both A24 awards-season titles in what the source describes as a competitive deal situation
- A24's 'You Can See Everything' is an Elizabeth Holmes documentary co-directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim that has just made its North American debut
- 'Primetime' — the second of the two A24 titles included in the international rights package — will now reach audiences through Sony's distribution outside of North America
- Both films are positioned as A24 awards-season releases, making the international rights grab a strategic play to maximize their global revenue window
- Cross-coverage note: While the Guardian and BBC frame the story around the documentary's $15M opening weekend box office stunner, this exclusive reveals the international distribution angle that wider coverage hasn't yet caught
Why it matters: Sony's international rights grab expands the commercial footprint of A24's awards-season slate beyond North America — potentially unlocking tens of millions in additional revenue for both films if overseas audiences respond to the same cultural appetite that drove the documentary's domestic debut.
