For Variety VIP+ subscribers: Buzzy Sundance buys are marking some decided trends for the struggling specialty film market

With its first in-person gathering since January 2020, you would think the 2023 Sundance Film Festival represents a triumphant return to form for the film market.

That price alone exceeds what more than half of the films up for multiple nominations at the Academy Awards have grossed domestically in theaters, including some major studio releases. Then there’s Sarah Polley’s “Women Talking.” Released by United Artists, MGM’s distribution label, it has just barely scratched $1 million.

Horror continues to be a fitting match for A24. Most of its 2022 theatrical gross was earned through horror movies like Gen-Z thriller “Bodies Bodies Bodies” and Ti West’s dual slasher movies “X” and “Pearl.”
