The title has sold to the UK and Ireland (Studiocanal), Germany and Austria (Dcm), Australia and New Zealand (Madman Entertainment), ex-Yugoslavia and Albania (Demiurg) and Greece (Danaos).
In previously announced deals, the film has also been picked up for Switzerland (Outside the Box), France (Jour2fête) and Belgium (Imagine Films), which are planning releases in February, April and May respectively.
