Ten different films were sold over the course of Sundance's 10 days with "only a couple of the more prominent distributors [going] home without dropping a dime," according to the Hollywood Reporter. "There's a sense of relief and comfort that the market is still pretty healthy," one movie financier told the paper. "The pace of sales is more deliberate now. If you check back in three to four months, I think you'll find more films will have sold than in previous years." Deals don't happen as quickly, and they aren't as big as they used to be, according to the paper, but several distributors spent seven figures on single titles. The Weinstein Co. picked up Blue Valentine, a Ryan Gosling-Michelle Williams drama about a marriage on the rocks; Roadside bought Winter's Bone, a disturbing thriller; and IFC Films acquired The Killer Inside Me, a controversial film that split audiences, some of whom were disturbed by the movie's violent scenes.
