Universal Pays $400 Million for New 'Exorcist' Trilogy Featuring Leslie Odom Jr. and Ellen Burstyn
The New York Times, which first reported the news, says that the deal for the franchise was upwards of $400 million. The studio did not comment on the amount of the deal, but sources say that CAA, which negotiated the deal, is the second high-profile deal they've negotiated for major IP in the last six months following the $400 million+ deal for the "Knives Out" sequels to Netflix.
