It just seems odd to me how a lot of movies which you think could go to theaters are going to Netflix. The Irishman for example. A Martin Scorsese movie starring Robert De Niro, and Al Pacino, as well as these other stars? Seems like theatrical distributors would want that one. But no, straight to Netflix.
El Camino... Breaking Bad is probable the most popular TV show in the history of telivision or at least top 3 I would say. Even The Untouchables and The Fugitive got movies based off their shows that hit theaters instead of going straight to video. But the Breaking Bad movie, only six years later from one of the most popular shows ever, if not the most popular, does not get a theatrical release, and goes straight to Netflix.
Or The Night Comes For Us. The movie has the same actors in from the Raid movies and looks just as high budget as those ones. The Raid movies went to theaters all over the world, but for some reason this one goes to Netflix. Why?
Or there are other movies with big stars in like Bright or Bird Box, and yet Netflix is preferred over theatrical distribution interest.
Is Netflix better than theaters? But if that is the case, then why doesn't every movie go there, and theaters just shot down then?
