According to The Hollywood Reporter, the first is Joel Schumacher's look at drug dealing among rich Manhattan teens. The film division of book publisher Hannover House paid $2m (£1.2m) for the movie, which is scheduled to close the festival.
The second, Hesher, stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and is produced by Natalie Portman. It was commissioned domestically by NewMarket Films somewhere in the $1m (£625,000) range.
Late on Thursday, several other deals were said to be imminent. The Weinstein Company was leading the chase to sign documentary Catfish at the time.
