DL: Netflix has acquired worldwide rights to Step Sisters [STPSS] Antibody Nov 09, 11:08

In the article: "No theatrical release is planned." {nm} Wilderness_Journey Nov 09, 11:13

as per Netflix's general policy {nm} slipping jimmy Nov 09, 11:17

Not too long ago they picked up another film Wilderness_Journey Nov 09, 11:21

Which one? There hasn't been a Netflix film released in theaters first. Antibody Nov 09, 11:23

I was just looking and now can't find it. I may be working off old info Wilderness_Journey Nov 09, 11:25

Those are simultaenous day-n-date. {nm} Antibody Nov 09, 11:28

For awards qualifications. They'll do a handful a one offs or four walls if contractually obligated. They won't report box {nm} Moviesnob Nov 09, 12:08

they should give Mudbound an awards-season release but i probably won't {nm} slipping jimmy Nov 09, 11:27

It's playing in four theaters in la {nm} Moviesnob Nov 09, 12:09

which is great for me but not gonna get it done for a serious Oscar campaign (which it sounds like it deserves) {nm} slipping jimmy Nov 09, 12:11

I 100% agree but they have gotten movies (docs) nominated with less {nm} Moviesnob Nov 09, 12:18

Do you think that releasing in this manner will HELP with the Oscar consideration? {nm} goodvibe61 Nov 09, 13:13

No I don't {nm} Moviesnob Nov 09, 13:17

Netflix puts it into the mandatory amount of theaters for award qualification, then quickly releases the film on Netflix for all to see RazorHawk Nov 09, 14:24

hasn't worked yet. Amazon did far better with Manchester By The Sea going the traditional platform release {nm} slipping jimmy Nov 09, 14:35
