Lionsgate/Roadside Near Consummation On Sex Addict Dramedy ‘Thanks For Sharing’
In what is shaping up as their second big Toronto deal in the last 12 hours, Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions have teamed up to acquire the Stuart Blumberg-directed Thanks For Sharing. I’m hearing the deal is nearly done for an over $2 million minimum guarantee for U.S. rights with a commitment for a theatrical release and not a day and date VOD plan. The film stars Mark Ruffalo, Tim Robbins, Josh Gad, Gwyneth Paltrow, and it made its debut Saturday night at the Ryerson.
This follows last night’s Lionsgate Roadside deal for the Kristen Wiig-Annette Bening comedy Imogene. Blumberg, who scripted this and also wrote the indie smash The Kids Are All Right, here focuses on three recovering sex addicts who, despite a history of promiscuity and raucous romps, struggle to maintain meaningful relationships among lingering temptations as they go through a 12-step rehab program. It’s Blumberg’s directing debut.
