Split Fiction movie could be picked up for "multiple millions"
Bid numbers in the “multiple millions” are reportedly on the table for the adaptation of EA’s fan-favourite co-op adventure, Split Fiction.
That’s according to Deadline, which said the movie business is “on a much-needed hot streak” after the “smash results” of the Minecraft screen adaptation. Debuting last month, A Minecraft Movie generated $301m worldwide on its first weekend and has been such a success that there are already talks about a sequel, and director Jared Hess has teased where the film series could go next.
“I’ve heard bid numbers in the multiple millions from Sony and Amazon MGM Studios, with the latter in strong position to take it off the table, and it will likely be settled by early next week,” wrote Deadline’s Mike Fleming Jr.
