US streaming service Hulu has jointly acquired the US rights to Joshy, obtaining exclusive streaming rights to the comedy after its January debut at the Sundance Film Festival.
Hulu has acquired the rights with Lionsgate Entertainment, which will release the film in cinemas before it moves to the streaming service.
