Black Bear has acquired domestic distribution rights to “Honeymoon / Funeral,” a romantic comedy starring Rebecca Ferguson, Greta Lee, and Carrie Coon. The film is directed by Nahnatchka Khan, known for “Always Be My Maybe,” and production wrapped in September, according to reports.
Multiple outlets say the project was shopped through the newly created Toronto International Film Festival market. Details differ slightly by outlet, but all describe the movie being presented to buyers at TIFF’s market and handled by MRC in the deal-making process. One report also links the initial shopping to FilmNation, while another specifies that the acquisition is for domestic rights.
Variety’s logline characterizes the premise as centering on two women, played by Ferguson and Lee, who meet and navigate relationship dynamics. Collectively, the coverage focuses on the distributor acquisition and the film’s sales path through TIFF Market, with less emphasis on broader release plans or additional cast and plot specifics beyond the logline framework.
