Into a Movie, TV Show AND Video Game.
No specifics on the amount paid but apparently there was a pretty intense bidding war between multiple companies, but Rothfuss chose Lionsgate because he thought they could actually do it, AND they have apparently ceded a tremendous amount of control to him.
Sounds like it will definitely be adapted.
There are some very interesting details on the process on Rothfuss' blog.
Lionsgate also produced and developed The Hunger Games, for instance.

For those that don't know, The Kingkiller Chronicles is a Fantasy series written by Patrick Rothfuss.
After the Game of Thrones/Song of Ice and Fire series, it is probably the most popular fantasy series out right now. It has sold over 10 million copies, and only two books so far have been released, The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear.
It is a planned trilogy, with only one book remaining, Doors of Stone. That book has been in development for about 5 years now with no release date in site, although back in December of 2014 Rothfuss said without a doubt it would not be out in 2015.

I saw him one night upstairs in the Tavern on Lamar in Austin. I even showed his picture to my wife and she was like "yep, that's definitely the same guy". He must have been in town to see a friend or do a book signing down the street at Book People.
REALLY like his stuff except for the whole Felurian interlude in The Wise Man's Fear. Lordy, that was bad. So tedious and boring. Almost just skipped ahead. I wonder if some day he'll realize just how terrible and unnecessary 99% of that was and cut it from later editions.

Of all the epic fantasy series out right now, this is the one I care least about seeing on film. Rothfuss is a great writer, but dude needs to have someone tell him when he's gone off the rails.

If they leave off that boring arse part in the middle of the first book it will be cool.

First book was one of the most engrossing reads I've encountered. Still enjoyed Wise Man's Fear, but agree with what others have said about the whole Felurian thing. Felt like the 2nd book also raised more questions then answers, and it's no surprise to me after reading it that book 3 has been in development so long - I feel like it's gonna be a real challenge to wrap up the trilogy neatly with all the loose ends open...
