Netflix Lands Sundance Title ‘It’s What’s Inside;’ $17M For Worldwide Rights Sets Fest High Bar

EXCLUSIVE: Netflix has just closed a deal in the $17 million range for worldwide rights to It’s What’s Inside, the thriller written and directed by Greg Jardin that has been one of the Sundance Film Festival’s buzziest titles. I’m told that Netflix will also give the film a theatrical window. It’s the second 8-figure deal of Sundance, after the Jesse Eisenberg-directed A Real Pain sold to Searchlight for $10 million.

A pre-wedding party descends into an existential nightmare when an estranged friend shows up with a mysterious suitcase. There are a lot of reveals in this one, and I ain’t giving up a single one. The pic is produced by Wiiliam Rosenfeld, Kate Andrews, Jason Baum, and Raul Domingo.

CAA Media Finance brokered the deal. The film bowed in the Midnight Section on January 19 at The Ray Theatre.
