Cinemark made a deal with Netflix to show Army of the Dead across its domestic circuit [ARMYD] Antibody 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. " {nm} Antibody 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) notfabio May 04, 13:11

Might just be hope for a Christopher Nolan Netflix Film yet.... {nm} notfabio May 04, 13:17

this is only getting a 7 day window and Nolan's not happy with the Netflix theatrical dynamic internationally. Moviesnob 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} notfabio May 04, 13:25

its just crazy that theaters painted themselves into this corner where Netflix has all the leverage {nm} Moviesnob 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} TheWeekendWarrior May 04, 13:36

When Netflix hired Stuber, theaters had an ally at Netflix and they blew it {nm} Moviesnob May 04, 13:43

hiring Spencer Klein was supposed to be way forward with theaters but... {nm} Moviesnob May 04, 13:45

IW: Per sources, it will be joined by other circuits for a total of around 600 screens. Antibody May 04, 13:18

I tried out a few other upcoming Netflix titles to see if they were online at AMC and nope, Army of the Dead is it for now. {nm} notfabio May 04, 13:21

Smart move by the theaters cause the Army of the Snyder will sell these out. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior 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} notfabio May 04, 13:33

If ARMYD beats Spiral, Netflix would be foolish not to report. {nm} Antibody May 04, 14:11

What does Netflix gain by reporting? {nm} DTravel May 04, 15:28

Number one movie at the box office on all the headlines and TV shows. {nm} Antibody 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} DTravel May 04, 18:57

Yes it does, free publicity to get people to sign up and watch ARMYD on Netflix. Antibody May 04, 20:51

IDK, it seems like a 180 from their previous strategy DTravel 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} Antibody May 05, 08:03
