The film is scheduled to be theatrically released in France by Pathé,[2] who will also be handling international sales.[9] Prior to its Cannes premiere, A24 acquired North American distribution rights to the film.[10] In May 2024, the formation of a new Italian distribution and international sales company named PiperFilm was announced, with Parthenope announced as its first acquisition.
