Focus Features acquired the worldwide rights to the film in Sundance and handled the UK deal, which was said to be worth well above $2m.
Andrew Fleming directed the comedy starring Steve Coogan as a failed actor who recruits his high-school drama students to act in a controversial sequel to Hamlet.
Catherine Keener, Melonie Diaz, Amy Poehler, David Arquette and Elisabeth Shue also star. Fleming co-wrote the screenplay with Pam Brady.
