Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson's 'Die My Love' Sells to Mubi for North America, U.K., Latin America

The movie world premiered at Cannes on Saturday evening, followed by a star-studded premiere party.

Art house distributor and streamer Mubi has struck a deal to buy the rights to Lynne Ramsay's Die My Love, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, for North America and additional territories in a first big deal at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

The territories also include the U.K., Ireland, Italy, Spain, Benelux, Latin America, India, Turkey, Australia, Germany, and Austria.

It is understood that the deal has a $20 million-plus price tag.

The movie world premiered at Cannes on Saturday evening, followed by a star-studded premiere party.

The film, an adaptation of Ariana Harwicz's 2017 novel of the same name -- with the action relocated from France to Montana -- was co-written and directed by art-house darling Ramsay and was co-produced by and stars Oscar winner Lawrence in her most ambitious performance in years.

In the genre-blending two-hour film, Lawrence plays a new mother who develops postpartum depression and begins going in and out of psychosis. Pattinson plays her husband; Oscar winner Sissy Spacek and Oscar nominee Nick Nolte play his parents; and Oscar nominee LaKeith Stanfield also stars.

THR's review called the movie "a thoughtful examination of a complex relationship and all the patience and understanding it requires" and "a punishing watch that pays off in the end."
