Netflix Buys Sundance Thriller ‘It’s What’s Inside’ in Huge $17 Million Sale
variety.comRebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter “It’s What’s Inside,” a horror movie that premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, has sold to Netflix for $17 million.
The film isn’t playing in theaters and will land directly on the streamer at a yet-to-be-determined date.
