Some smart sellers prefer smart release plan over big MG. For example, some buyers offered to pay more MG than Roadside to buy Winter's Bone

Anyway, if Fox Searchlight paid no more than low sever figures MG to buy "Shame", they would have very big chance to make profit

(if they don't overspend P&A....) Becaus "Shame" would do very well in ancillary.

You have your point. Luckily, "Shame" itself would be able to create huge publicity to sell itself, so Fox maybe able to save some money

Glenn Kenny: I hear @foxsearchlight is only "meh" on "Shame," and merely picked it up to get the "Film Current" talking.
