Sundance 2013: What's Behind the 7-Figure Spending

Sources peg the deal at low seven figures for the sexy drama that will get a theatrical run and a day-and-date VOD launch.

The story revolves around the passionate affairs of two lifelong friends who fall in love with each other's sons. Directed by Anne Fontaine and written by Christopher Hampton, the tale of love, lust and friendship stars Naomi Watts, Robin Wright, Xavier Samuel and James Frecheville.

Two Mothers premiered Jan. 18 at Eccles Theatre as part of Sundance's Premieres category.

The sale marks the first acquisition for Exclusive Releasing, headed by Scott Pascucci and Matt Brodlie. The company was launched in September at the Toronto Film Festival.

Philippe Carcassonne, Francis Boespflug and Andrew Mason produced 2 Mothers. Troy Lum executive produced.

The deal was negotiated by Brodlie and CAA along with Cécile Gaget of Gaumont International, which financed the film.

CAA repped the filmmakers.
