Performance-Based Licensing: Early 2026 Data on Streamers Shifting from Minimum Guarantees to Revenue Share
The pre-Marché 2026 deal flow is showing the first structural data on a shift that has been promised for years: streamers moving from upfront minimum guarantee licensing to back-end revenue-share structures. Here's what the early 2026 data shows, what's driving the shift, and what indie sellers and rights holders should plan for as performance-based deals scale.
India 2026 Distribution Playbook: How Independent Acquisitions Are Accelerating Inside the World's Largest Film Market
India is the world's largest film market by ticket admissions and one of its most fragmented by language and platform. The 2026 cycle shows accelerating independent and arthouse acquisition activity — driven by PVR-INOX consolidation, Mubi India's specialty programming push, and Indian SVOD platforms' content investment cycle. Here's how the playbook is evolving and what international sellers should plan for.

Cannes 2026 Sales-Agent Power Rankings: Who Controls the Pre-Marché Pipeline
Six international sales agencies — MK2 Films, The Match Factory, Wild Bunch International, Charades, Goodfellas, and Playtime — concentrate the bulk of the Cannes 2026 Competition and parallel-section deal flow. This is what each agency brings to the Marché, what packaging premiums they can command, and how buyers should think about agent-tier pricing.
Mubi's Pre-Cannes 2026 Strategy: How the Platform-Plus-Theatrical Model Is Reshaping Specialty Acquisition
Mubi enters Cannes 2026 with the deepest theatrical footprint in its history, the strongest balance sheet of any pure-play specialty buyer, and an acquisition mandate that increasingly competes head-to-head with Neon and A24 for Competition titles. Here's how the model works and what it means for sellers.
