The David Lynch auction that ran from June 18, 2025, seems to have brought in some serious money. On Wednesday (June 18), nearly 450 items from the filmmaker’s personal collection were auctioned at the Peninsula Beverly Hills in Los Angeles. They included artifacts from classics, including Mulholland Drive, Twin Peaks, and Eraserhead; as well as personal possessions such as art and furniture. With hundreds of bidders attending in person and online, the sale generated a total of $4.25Million.
The highlight of the auction, as reported by Deadline, was the sale of 11 scripts from Lynch’s unfinished film project Ronnie Rocket: The Absurd Mystery of the Strange Forces of Existence, which eventually went for $195,000. Other notable items were a Twin Peaks-themed mug owned by the coffee-loving director, which sold for $11,700; Lynch’s script from the 1997 neo-noir Lost Highway, which fetched $195,000 and his personalized director’s chair, which sold for $91,000.
There has also been fascination surrounding a Netflix project he intended to make before his death, an LA-set mystery series titled Unrecorded Night. Lynch’s regular cinematographer revealed some details about the project earlier this month, saying it would have been a series with “a lot of episodes” unconnected to anything he did before.
