Did the mixed/negative festival reception leave this film with no US distributor? What goes on?

Got great reviews? Uh no, it didn't, you delusional person. Head on over to Rotten Tomatoes to see your delusions shattered.

You have no idea what you're talking about, huh? You said she got good reviews but she didn't, you delusional person.

What are you kidding you clearly didn't read the reviews which state that the performance of the lead was the best and Kristen was fantastic in it

What reviews are you reading, you delusional person? Go over to Rotten Tomatoes and read the reviews. She didn't get good reviews, she got bad reviews. You're delusional and it is hilarious watching you try and explain away Kristen Stewart's awful acting.

"Several distributors are locked in a bidding war for the sci-fi thriller Equals, including Paramount, A24 and Sony Pictures Classics. Sources say a seven-figure domestic or multi-territory deal for for the film is close. Combined with the international territory deals that are still being sold at the festival, the combined sales for the film are nearing $16 million. That would make it a top deal at the festival for a finished film. So far, nothing at TIFF has sold for more than low seven figures, with the exception of Anomalisa, which sold to Paramount for mid-seven figures" -THR
