Jordan Firstman’s directorial debut, “Club Kid,” draws significant attention at the Cannes Film Festival and carries that momentum into the sales market, where several high-profile companies express interest. Both outlets report that following the film’s premiere in the festival’s Un Certain Regard section and subsequent reviews, multiple buyers pursue the project. Deadline characterizes the offers as reaching eight-figure territory and says multiple major studios have been actively evaluating the film, describing the situation as unusually large for a Cannes title. Variety similarly reports a bidding war atmosphere, noting that the competition among distributors includes high-profile bidders and centers on high seven-figure offers. The outlets also indicate that the pace of interest continues beyond the premiere window, reflecting strong market demand tied to festival reception. While the reported offer figures differ in phrasing across sources—eight-figure versus high seven-figure—the core points are aligned: “Club Kid” receives positive attention at Cannes and triggers major studio-level bidding or negotiation as the film moves toward distribution deals.
