Overview
- Deadline reported Friday that Netflix has acquired U.S. streaming rights to Sacrifice, Romain Gavras’s English-language eco-satire starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Evans.
- Rocket Science sold the film to a wide group of international distributors, with deals covering the U.K., Germany, Italy, Spain, Canada, Latin America and multiple other territories.
- Netflix released a first-look image for the film but has not announced an official U.S. premiere date or streaming date.
- Sacrifice follows a doomsday-driven plot in which a cult leader hijacks an environmental gala and takes hostages, and the finished film previously premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.
- Industry reporting says international partners are expected to seek theatrical runs before Netflix streams the movie, with late summer or fall considered possible timing though those plans remain unconfirmed.
