That doesn't make sense. Because Cregger wrote it. Do you mean Peele wanted to produce this? That would make more sense.

Ahh Cregger wrote this? I didn't even know there could still be a bidding war to produce your own script. If he's even producing

Yeah, it was Cregger's script and the bidding war was for production rights. Here's the story:

Jordan Peele Parted Ways With His Management Team After Losing ‘Weapons’ Bidding War

Jordan Peele lost the 'Weapons' bidding war and split from Artists First management.

Zach Cregger’s Weapons is set to be the next biggest film as far as horror is concerned, causing the bidding war for the film to have been separated by a few million dollars.

According to Deadline, the film sold to New Line for $38 million including the budget and Cregger’s $10 million total payment for his directing fee, scripting, and producing alongside Roy Lee, Miri Yoon, J.D. Lifshytz, and Raphael Margules.

Universal, in partnership with Jordan Peele and Monkeypaw Productions, was outbid by $7 million. Peele was so eager to secure the film that he was reportedly “ready to kick in part of his contractual back end.” This, however, caused some strife. One version of events claims that Peele was “pissed” because he was allegedly told that if he matched New Line’s bid, he’d win, but the Us visionary and Universal weren’t confident about “the budget as a business proposition.” This was the reasoning behind them backing out.

Amid the auction and negotiating, Peele parted ways with his longtime Artists First management team, Joel Zadak and Peter Principato — the latter is also Cregger’s manager.

The men signed Peele back when he was an improv comic on Mad TV. He does remained repped by CAA. It’s unclear if the two events correlate.

After seeing the teaser and it being one classroom was empty made me think of the Uvalde shooting. Which hurts my heart everytime I think of it but thats what this movie reminded me of but just in a different format.
