'They sent a signal to filmmakers that even if you’re Martin Scorsese, you won’t get the wide theatrical release you want through Netflix.' NATO president-CEO John Fithian is speaking out against the release plan for TheIrishman

A view of a fake newsstand at 'The Irishman' premiere at TCL Chinese Theatre on October 24.

The National Association of Theater Owners is speaking out against the release plan for the 209-minute, R-rated film, saying Netflix erred in not being willing to compromise with two major chains and agree to a more traditional theatrical window.

All of Netflix's original productions are nothing more than subscription bait.

Netflix does whats right for them and its watchers. I dont have a problem with the direction they chose to go. Makes sense

I think Netflix is totally wrong. Scorsese, De Niro and Pacino's fans are not on the internet streaming service but in theaters everywhere over the planet.

It’s a TV movie. It should be on Netflix rn.

good.

I would have paid $40/ ticket to see this in a theater. Be more flexible AMCTheatres look what happened to loneblockbuster

The current theatrical window isn't working a studio should be able to decide how long they want to play a film in cinemas rather than being dictated by exhibitors who can pull the film out within weeks if it underperforms but still the have to play out the window

That is absolute horseshit, they were willing to give a 45 day exclusive theatrical window to the film. BLAME the theater chains once again.

Sounds more like the big theater chains sent a message to a lot of people that they don’t want their business.

Netflix didn't send the signal. Head in the sand theaters did.
