The Irishman: why it is on Netflix and in a few theaters
This isn't the first time something like this has happened, but it's still something pretty extraordinary: a movie coming out pretty much at the same time. on Netflix and in theaters. How is that possible?
Last Friday the Martin Scorsese film hit theaters. He did it in a somewhat limited way: only 45 points from all over Spain They rolled out the red carpet for their screening. It sounds scarce coming from a title signed by a great like the American director, but, of course, it turns out that the Big N is behind it.
Netflix is the producer of The Irish And, of course, Netflix doesn't care if a lot of people come to the movie with their packet of popcorn or not. What really matters to you is that users see it on your platform. so it explain en El País, where they collect the testimony of the spokesperson for the spokesperson of Fece (Federation of Entities of Film Entrepreneurs of Spain). As noted, the only reason Netflix allows this is because the theatrical release is a prerequisite. to qualify for Oscar nominations and of course, The Irish it smells like Oscar - just like it smelled Roma by Alfonso Cuarón.
What Netflix is not willing to go through is waiting the 112 days (four months) agreed upon between the fact that a film is released in Spain and has "permission" to be released on digital platforms (although it will have been able to come out in physical format before). In fact, the movie opens next Wednesday, November 27th, only twelve days later.
This, of course, does not sit well with the film industry, which considers the deadline a while insufficient in order to collect benefits. Netflix, for its part, ensures that the release plans are adjusted to each film and that it continues in talks with its associated distributors.
In fact, the very premiere of The Irish has been subject to long negotiations that they have ended up leaning quite a bit in favor of the content service on demand and with only 45 theaters in Spain "willing" to accept the conditions.
