Deadline Hollywood reported New Line Cinema emerged victorious in a bidding war for the spec script, reportedly beating Universal, Netflix and Sony/TriStar. The Hollywood Reporter detailed that the package included a sum in the eight figures, a guaranteed green light for production, final‑cut rights for Cregger, a share of backend profits and, crucially in securing the deal, a guarantee of a theatrical release. Insiders described it as an unprecedented arrangement in recent times and likened it to the deals M. Night Shyamalan secured after Шестое чувство (1999).
