Mubi Acquires Worldwide Rights To Eleanor Coppola Film

Mubi acquired worldwide distribution rights to Eleanor Coppola's documentary "Making Marie Antoinette" this week. The film provides an in-depth look at the production of Sofia Coppola's 2006 period drama "Marie Antoinette," which starred Kirsten Dunst as the titular French queen. Filmed in 2005, Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette" was her third feature film and received an Academy Award for Best Costume Design.

The documentary "Making Marie Antoinette" offers exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and insights into the creative process behind Sofia Coppola's acclaimed film. Eleanor Coppola, a filmmaker in her own right, directed the documentary, which was produced by her daughter, Sofia Coppola. The acquisition by Mubi, a global distributor focused on curated cinema, signals a continued interest in art-house and critically recognized films.

Mubi plans to release the documentary globally, though specific release dates have not yet been announced. The film's acquisition highlights Mubi's strategy of securing rights to unique cinematic content that appeals to a discerning audience. "Making Marie Antoinette" is expected to complement Mubi's existing library of auteur-driven films and documentaries.
