Cinemark made a deal with Netflix to show Army of the Dead across its domestic circuit [ARMYD] May 04, 13:07
"While this is the first wide release of a Netflix film at Cinemark theatres, the companies anticipate there will be more to come. " May 04, 13:08
Army of the Dead also happens to be setup as a title on AMC Theatres (no tickets on sale so iffy) May 04, 13:11
Might just be hope for a Christopher Nolan Netflix Film yet.... {nm} May 04, 13:17
this is only getting a 7 day window and Nolan's not happy with the Netflix theatrical dynamic internationally. May 04, 13:19
Nolan (at least for now) is his own little island, INTL is where it gets tricky (i.e. like the windows in France) {nm} May 04, 13:25
its just crazy that theaters painted themselves into this corner where Netflix has all the leverage {nm} May 04, 13:28
I spent about an hour at a holiday party in 2019 debating this very thing with the EIC of Box Office. (Not Shawn) {nm} May 04, 13:36
When Netflix hired Stuber, theaters had an ally at Netflix and they blew it {nm} May 04, 13:43
hiring Spencer Klein was supposed to be way forward with theaters but... {nm} May 04, 13:45
IW: Per sources, it will be joined by other circuits for a total of around 600 screens. May 04, 13:18
Smart move by the theaters cause the Army of the Snyder will sell these out. {nm} May 04, 13:29
Yeah, I expect these to do well as well, imagine if Netflix surprise reports box office and it beats out SPIRAL? {nm} May 04, 13:33
If ARMYD beats Spiral, Netflix would be foolish not to report. {nm} May 04, 14:11
What does Netflix gain by reporting? {nm} May 04, 15:28
Number one movie at the box office on all the headlines and TV shows. {nm} May 04, 15:42
Would they really care about that? Their business model doesn't seem like one that would gain any great benefit from it. {nm} May 04, 18:57
Yes it does, free publicity to get people to sign up and watch ARMYD on Netflix. {nm} May 04, 20:51
IDK, it seems like a 180 from their previous strategy May 04, 21:19
YouOu got it backwards. It's the theaters chain that refused to book Netlfix and limited their screens until now. {nm} May 05, 08:03
