Netflix Stated Warner Bros Movies Will Remain In Theaters, But With A Twist

[RAMROD 112,184]

Ted Sarandos insisted that Netflix has no “opposition to movies in theaters,” as the streamer said it “expects” to release Warner Bros. films theatrically if it completes its $82.7 billion deal for the studio and HBO Max.

Twitter says this why piracy is kul and gud and I'm not gonna argue with that

regardless of how anyone feels about this, it's an industry-changing shift should the deal actually go through (which i am doubtful of).

also, remember when Netflix was simply a company where you went up to a red box to rent a DVD? or subscribed to have them sent to you?

Things change so quickly.

I remember their super cheap marketing material with the beavers watching tv and how they advertised $8/month. 

 

I think the deal will go through though. They'll make a little deal with the administration and be good to go.

Netflix has ruined the film/television industry, and this was always a big part of the plan. Dry out other studios/distributors and then acquire them. It's so sad to see overall.

As to the deal, idk...we're perilously close to monopoly here.

I’m sick of the US government letting all of these mergers go through whether it’s in media, airlines, etc. We’re getting back to the Gilded Age where we have nothing but a few select monopolies and ever-growing income inequality.

Netflix deal or not let's be honest VOD releases is cutting life span of movies in theaters. they are coming earlier and earlier every year after movie releases in theater.

the twist being the movie theatre now has ad breaks during the film

unless you subscribe

I dont see why they cant keep Warner as is while being owned by netflix. Just the fact that they have guaranteed ALL warner movies can go onto their streaming platform once theatrical release is over is a huge success for them so they should consider keeping movies in theaters and just ppl knowing they will all go to netflix after is a huge incentive to subscribe to netflix. They can still make it profitable for them AF while keeping warner films in theaters
