Release
The film premiered at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival on September 12, 2015.[2][3] The film became one of the highest-profile at the festival, and led to a bidding war between Lionsgate, Universal, and STX Entertainment. Ultimately, STX acquired worldwide rights to Hardcore, including a wide release commitment, for $10 million, becoming the studio's first festival acquisition.[1]
At the Festival, the film won the Grolsch People's Choice Midnight Madness Award.[4]
