Paramount+ and Showtime have won an auction for U.S rights to the Kristen Bell-led comedy “Queenpins” in a deal said to be north of $20 million.
Directed and written by Aron Gaudet & Gita Pullapilly, and inspired by a true story, Bell plays a suburban housewife fed up with being dismissed and overlooked by her husband and society.
She decides to take back control of her life by starting an illegal coupon club. Her creation ends up scamming millions of dollars from big food companies while delivering deals to millions of fellow coupon clippers.
Kirby Howell Baptiste, Paul Walter Hauser, Vince Vaughn, Joel McHale, Nick Cassavetes, Jack McBrayer and Annie Mumolo co-star in the film which STXfilms will first distribute theatrically.
