Die, My Love, the Lynne Ramsay directed Jennifer Lawrence-Robert Pattinson drama which MUBI snapped up for $24M out of this year’s Cannes, is getting a domestic release of Nov. 7. We hear it’s a wide release, not limited.
The movie follows Lawrence as a mother in rural American, battling with psychosis as it takes a toll on her husband played by Pattison. Sissy Spacek, Nick Nolte and LaKeith Stanfield also star.
Die, My Love was produced by Andrea Calderwood, Justine Ciarrocchi, Lawrence, Thad Luckinbill, Trent Luckinbill, Martin Scorsese, and Molly Smith. Production companies include Excellent Cadaver, Black Label Media, and Sikelia Productions, with Black Label also financing.
Said Ramsey, “At the heart of this story is the complexity of love and how it can change and transform over time. I aimed to keep it grounded, human, spontaneous and funny at times, capturing the moments that feel small but carry a lot of weight. This film is for anyone who’s ever been in a relationship – there’s heartbreak and beauty in vulnerability.”
Deadline first reported the news about Mubi acquiring Die, My Love. Coming out of the fest, the movie notched 77% fresh with Rotten Tomatoes critics.
Die, My Love will share the marquee on Nov. 7 with Amazon MGM Studios’ Sarah’s Oil, Paramount’s The Running Man, and 20th Century Studios’ Predator: Badlands.
Die, My Love was by far the biggest sale out of Cannes this year and Mubi’s biggest acquisition ever. The deal was for a full domestic theatrical commitment on 1,500 screens for 45 days. The territories covered are North America, Latin America, UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Benelux, Turkey, India, Australia and New Zealand.
