BUENOS AIRES - Argentina's FilmSharks Intl., has picked up worldwide sales rights outside Latin America and Spain for local box office smash comedy "Un novio para mi mujer" (A Boyfriend for My Wife) in its latest deal with Disney-backed Patagonik Film Group.
Pic pulled in nearly 500,000 admissions in the two weeks since its Aug. 14 release in Argentina, making it the highest grossing domestic film of the year with just over $4 million.
Juan Taratuto directed "Boyfriend," his third hit comedy following "Quien dice que es facil" (Who Says It's Easy) and "No sos vos, soy yo" (It's Not You, It's Me). Both had strong theatrical runs in Argentina and Spain.
"Boyfriend" is about a husband who tries to get his wife to fall in love with another man so he can leave her. It stars Adrian Suar and Valeria Bertuccelli ("XXY").
Buena Vista Intl., which has an output deal with Patagonik, picked up Latin American rights for "Boyfriend," while Spain is under negotiations.
"There is strong potential for remake rights," said Guido Rud, CEO and founder of FilmSharks.
