As the 2016 Sundance Film Festival closed up shop Sunday, a couple late deals were finalized:

• Sony Pictures Classics has landed the documentary "The Eagle Huntress," which follows a 13-year-old Mongolian girl training to train her own eagle — carrying on a tradition previously reserved for the males of her culture. Sony acquired distribution rights for North America, Latin America, Germany, Australia/New Zealand, Scandinavia and Asia.

• HBO and Magnolia Pictures have teamed up for the New Zealand documentary "Tickled," with HBO acquiring U.S. television rights and Magnolia acquiring North American theatrical rights and world rights outside of North America (except Australia and New Zealand). In "Tickled," TV reporter David Farrier (who co-directed with Dylan Reeve) starts looking into the odd sport of "competitive endurance tickling" and gets sucked into a tsunami of legal threats, private detectives, online harassment and exploitation.
