Cinema remains a difficult terrain, streaming licences under pressure - yet TIFF 2025 could unleash more deal energy again, especially for buyers with realistic budgets and post-sale plans.<\/p><p data-start=\"488\" data-end=\"746\"><strong data-start=\"488\" data-end=\"524\">Strict, data-driven market<\/strong><br data-start=\"524\" data-end=\"527\" \/>Buyers scrutinise projects more closely: pay-TV and streaming reserves are mandatory, comparable market results are crucial. Immediate bidding battles are rarer; negotiations often drag on beyond the festival.<\/p><p data-start=\"748\" data-end=\"1045\"><strong data-start=\"748\" data-end=\"779\">Streaming pressure remains high<\/strong><br data-start=\"779\" data-end=\"782\" \/>Gaps between Pay 1 and Pay 2 licences, low SVOD offerings and a focus on in-house productions are forcing independent distributors to come up with creative solutions: AVOD, FAST channels or TVOD promotions.
