As per usual, Hollywood Reporter deal-beat masterminds Gregg Goldstein and Borys Kit sussed out news of the first deal of the festival: Helen Hunt's directorial debut Then She Found Me, which ThinkFilm and Canadian distributor Equinoxe films picked up today in a combo deal for around $3 million. The film features Hunt as a New York schoolteacher whose birth mother (Bette Midler) re-enters her life just as her husband (Matthew Broderick) leaves her and she falls for a new man (Colin Firth). The film premiered to accolades Friday night; Goldstein and Kit report that the Weinsteins and Roadside Attractions were in the running as well.
