NEWS and COMMENTARY
“Martin Scorsese’s representatives have been holding talks with Apple and Netflix and others as they seek a new company to produce or distribute the director’s next big-budget film, KILLERS of the FLOWER MOON“(R.T. Watson & Joe Flint, The Wall Street Journal).
Netflix has received fierce criticism from movie theaters these past few years. Theaters want a window of at least 3 months between the beginning of their theatrical run and the time the film will appear on the Netflix platform. But here’s the thing: The big Hollywood studios that traditionally work with theaters are becoming reluctant to invest in big, expensive films. ViacomCBS was slated to produce KILLERS of the FLOWER MOON, but when the cost ballooned to over $200 million, they bowed out. Remember THE IRISHMAN? Paramount was set to produce this film. Again, when the cost ballooned, they opted out. Netflix has been making huge investments in films that the major Hollywood studios are not willing to make. So, what do you think? Is harsh criticism of Netflix by the theaters justified?
