Neon drops seven figures on queer horror ‘Leviticus’ at Sundance, kicking off a frenzy of genre deals with eyes on 2026 profits.
Neon’s Seven-Figure Leviticus Acquisition Ignites Sundance Market BuzzIndependent distributor Neon has made waves at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival by securing worldwide rights to the queer horror film Leviticus in a seven-figure deal, marking the festival’s first major acquisition and reigniting excitement in what has been a cautious marketplace.
The Guardian declared, “In many increasingly overcrowded genres—trauma horror, curse horror, gay horror, trance horror—Leviticus stands tall”.
Leviticus represents Neon’s second horror acquisition from Sundance 2026, having also secured rights to Alex Ullom’s 4×4: The Event.
A Sluggish Market Finds MomentumThe Leviticus deal arrives as welcome news for a Sundance marketplace that has been notably slow compared to previous years.
