I saw it at Toronto at the film festival.
Loved it.
I would love for movies like that to get theaters.
But Netflix is not in that business.
So it didn't get a theater.
I think that movie could have done okay if it had gotten a theatrical release.
It's a really beautiful looking movie.
That's the other element here is whether Netflix will shut down Warner Brothers as a theatrical studio if they get this deal.
They're saying no.
Maybe, maybe not.
I mean, Netflix has been pretty consistent over the last 10 years of trying to kneecap movie theaters at every possible opportunity.
Ted has said over and over again, it's not our model.
It's not our model.
We do not put movies in theaters.
We want people to watch movies on Netflix.
Now they make concessions for certain filmmakers.
They give them a two week release for the knives out movies.
They give Greta Gerwig some IMAX.
Like that's what they do to get these projects.
But they would prefer that we all watch their movies on Netflix, not in theaters.
