AFM Opens in Los Angeles With A24's Elden Ring on Sale
A24's Elden Ring carries a budget in the $180 million-$200 million range at the American Film Market, which opened on November 9, 2026.
The American Film Market opened in Los Angeles on November 9, 2026, with A24's Elden Ring film leading the titles on sale, according to Deadline.com. The project carries a budget in the $180 million-$200 million range and is described as the biggest budgeted stand-alone film ever at a film or TV market.
Amazon has already taken a host of rights to Elden Ring off the table, leaving a narrower set of territories available to buyers at the market.
Horror titles and new packages
Among the horror standouts on offer are NorthFiveSix's Seeker, starring Cooper Tomlinson, Jessica Rothe and Mika Abdalla, and FilmNation's Violet, starring Lili Reinhart, Danny Ramirez and Suki Waterhouse. New packages at the market include projects with Jeremy Renner, Idris Elba, Liam Neeson, Gillian Anderson and Renée Zellweger.
Jean-Claude Van Damme action film Katana generated the most Deadline.com clicks among pre-sales projects in recent weeks. Stuntnuts, produced by Matthew Vaughn and Cristiano Ronaldo, will screen at the market.
Prestige titles on sale include the Julianne Moore drama Moonsong: A Life In Seven Verses and Armando Iannucci's untitled conspiracy thriller with James McAvoy, Alicia Vikander and Taron Egerton. Patrick Wachsberger's 193 has two Jeremy Renner action films at the market.
Deadline reported on the Elden Ring project a couple of weeks before AFM. Obsession, Backrooms and Buddy were not market packages per se, but indies in different territories had a shot at each of them; Backrooms was on sale in the market via A24, which set the project up.
