A24 Signs Japanese Output Deal With Happinet Phantom Studios Ahead of Launch of Alex Garland’s ‘Civil War’ at AFM (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comLeo Barraclough International Features Editor A24 has forged an exclusive output deal with Happinet Phantom Studios covering the distribution in Japan of A24’s upcoming releases, including Alex Garland’s action film “Civil War,” starring Kirsten Dunst, which has a highly anticipated launch at AFM this week.
Happinet and A24 have worked together on the release of a number of films in Japan, including triple Oscar winner “Moonlight,” and “Midsommar,” whose gross in the territory was the biggest outside North America.
