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.

The Bill Simmons Podcast

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.

The Bill Simmons Podcast

They're saying no.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
An NBA Six-Pack, Netflix’s WBD Pursuit, NFL Picks, and John Cena Finally Stops By, With Joe House and Matt Belloni

Maybe, maybe not.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
An NBA Six-Pack, Netflix’s WBD Pursuit, NFL Picks, and John Cena Finally Stops By, With Joe House and Matt Belloni

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.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
An NBA Six-Pack, Netflix’s WBD Pursuit, NFL Picks, and John Cena Finally Stops By, With Joe House and Matt Belloni

We do not put movies in theaters.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
An NBA Six-Pack, Netflix’s WBD Pursuit, NFL Picks, and John Cena Finally Stops By, With Joe House and Matt Belloni

We want people to watch movies on Netflix.

Now they make concessions for certain filmmakers.

The Bill Simmons Podcast

They give them a two week release for the knives out movies.

The Bill Simmons Podcast

They give Greta Gerwig some IMAX.

The Bill Simmons Podcast

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.
