'Spread' goes to Anchor Bay

When it seemed everyone was already packed up and gone, the biggest acquisition of the 2009 Sundance Film Festival was announced Friday. It was reported that "Spread," directed by David McKenzie and starring Ashton Kutcher, sold U.S. and Australian rights to Anchor Bay Films for $3.5 million to $4 million.

According to a report on IndieWire, a number of titles, including "The Greatest," "Art and Copy" and "The Cove," may also close deals by the end of the weekend.
