9:10AM Defamer Hollywood | Where are the big spenders this year at Cannes? After a 2007 buying spree that topped out with Universal snagging
We Own the Night for a whopping $11.5 million, only one distributor has made any considerable investment in the current crop of selections — IFC Films, which
made news Wednesday by acquiring the acclaimed Irish drama
Hunger, its seventh buy in as many days. And even its other deals — an international mash-up including
A Christmas Tale (France),
Chaser (S. Korea) and the American indie
The Pleasure of Being Robbed — are slated for minimal theatrical play as they funnel into IFC’s day-and-date on-demand circuit.
