US negotiations are ongoing.

The existing distributors already in place for the Ian Curtis biopic are the UK (Momentum), France (La Fabrique de Films), Benelux (Paradiso), Portugal (LNK), Greece (Art Free) and Australia/New Zealand (Dendy).

'We are currently fielding offers in the remaning territories ahead of today's market screening,' said Becker's head of sales Iain Canning.
