Overview
- Reports on Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2026, said the live‑action Elden Ring movie has a budget pegged between $175 million and $200 million, which would make it A24’s largest production and the biggest standalone film ever offered for sale at a rights market.
- Amazon MGM has taken a large package of international pay‑1 streaming rights in an early deal that sources say is worth tens of millions of dollars and removes those territories from the pool of rights A24 will sell at AFM.
- A24 is fully financing the picture and is taking the project to the American Film Market to find theatrical and distribution partners, a step it hopes will share the film’s cost and reduce the studio’s exposure.
- The film is in post‑production with Industrial Light & Magic handling heavy visual effects, principal photography was filmed in the U.K. from April to July 2026, and A24 has set a theatrical and IMAX release date for March 3, 2028.
- A24 is tightly guarding Alex Garland’s reportedly 180‑page script with supervised, in‑person reads for buyers, a sign of high caution given the movie’s franchise potential from a best‑selling game with George R.R. Martin‑linked lore and the large financial risks if it fails to reach wide audiences.
