By my count, there were 53 spec script sales in 2010. Here is that list. In the weeks to come, I’ll be analyzing the sales per genre, studios, agency/managers, top sales, and first-timers.

If you’re involved in acquisition and development, and know of some sales you think I might have missed, please email me or post in comments.
UPDATE #1: I’ve added the sale of “Goliath” by Patrick McKay & JD Payne, making the total 52 spec sales in 2010. More news to come on that sale within the hour.
UPDATE #2: I neglected to include the sale of the spec script “Deathgames” by Michael Hultquist & Robert Martinez. The movie has since been renamed The Killing Game and is in post-production. It stars Samuel L. Jackson and James Remar. It’s especially odd I failed to include this because Mike has taken several of my screenwriting courses. I did, however, mention the movie here and here.
So that brings the total to 53 spec script sales in 2010.
