In a feverish final weekend, Focus Features picked up Mike Mills' dramedy "Beginners," Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions teamed up to buy the Will Ferrell drama "Everything Must Go" (after previously joining to buy Robert Redford's morality play "The Conspirator") and IFC took the dysfunctional-family comedy "Peep World."
Meanwhile, Oscilloscope went home with the dark Finnish comedy "Rare Exports," adding to its earlier pickup of critical favorite "Meek's Cutoff," a western-flavored bit of art-house atmospherics. The Weinstein Co. bought two movies earlier in the festival, the Welsh coming-of-age dramedy "Submarine" and the '80s American coming-of-age comedy "Dirty Girl," while Sony Pictures Classics took prizewinner "Incendies" and the Paul Giamatti dramedy "Barney's Version."
