THR's "Humpday" review
PARK CITY -- A four-day tango for indie comedy "Humpday" ended
Monday night when Magnolia closed on a deal for the pic.
The unorthodox pact will see Magnolia release the film first via
video-on-demand this summer and then in a theatrical run one month
later.
The movie stars Mark Duplass and Joshua Leonard as friends who, on
a lark, decide to make a gay porn movie. A number of distributors
had made offers on the pic, with IFC and Roadside among the buyers
in the mix.
The buy is the third pickup and the first for Magnolia at Sundance
this year.
Submarine repped the filmmakers.
