'We're shooting bullets but they're using machine guns!' Netflix and Amazon outspent everyone at Sundance - here are the films they dropped millions on
Sundance Film Festival
Even before the festival began both Netflix and Amazon were aggressive with pre-buys, but then when everyone touched down in Park City, Utah, they kicked it up a notch.
Though the traditional indie distributors tried to put up a good fight - like Fox Searchlight, which broke a Sundance record with a $17.5 million deal to acquire one of the hit films from this year's fest, "Birth of a Nation" - it's more than evident that Netflix and Amazon's checkbooks were much larger than anyone else's.
As one source at a theatrical distributor told Business Insider during the fest, "We are shooting bullets but Netflix and Amazon are using machine guns."
Here's a breakdown of all the movies you'll be seeing on Netflix and Amazon in the coming year.
