Following Monday’s drama involving Fox Searchlight’s bid for An Education, Sony Pictures Classics was able to bring the price down and pick up North American and select Latin American rights to the coming-of-age drama for a reported $3-4 million. It’s the distributor’s first acquisition during this year’s festival, having already bought some titles pre-fest. Also making its first buy of the year, Lionsgate acquired US and UK rights to James C. Strouse’s basketball comedy The Winning Season.
