Florence Pugh Starrer ‘The Midnight Library’ Heading For Cannes Market’s Biggest Deal With Multiple Studios Chasing

EXCLUSIVE: Florence Pugh fantasy drama The Midnight Library, which will be directed by Lion filmmaker Garth Davis, is being chased by multiple studios in what will likely be the biggest deal out of this year’s Cannes market.

We understand Paramount, Focus and Sony are in the mix for domestic and select international markets on the circa $70M movie, with producer-financier Studiocanal, which is selling the movie, expected to hold onto its territories. This will likely be a territory split akin to the deal the Euro studio struck on Paddington In Peru. A winner should become clear in coming days.
