Virtual Cannes Deals Memo: Day 4
As the Virtual Cannes Market heads into its final days, the majors have begun to flex their monetary muscle, with MGM closing a deal for remaining international territories on Endeavor Content's hotly-anticipated Bill & Ted sequel and several studios vying for the Will Smith/Antoine Fuqua escaped slave actioner Emancipation, which is expected to close a high eight-figure worldwide deal before Virtual Cannes wraps up. The spotlight on day 4 has shifted to the majors but smaller indies continue to do brisk business and there is no sign of a slow-down as Virtual Cannes heads for the finish line.
